“I wasn’t about to let some petty allergy stop me.”
I couldn’t see anything. Two more seconds led to another realization. I can’t feel anything. I can’t move. Every medical TV show I’d ever seen ran through my head. What did they always tell the patients? Don’t panic, just breathe. Just breathe—why can’t I breathe?

Dr. Jan's Corner
A group of senior guys at my school sit in the bleachers and sneak alcohol during football games. Other people have noticed but they think it’s funny. I think they’re drinking and driving because they drive themselves to the game. Should I tell someone? I don't want to be a snitch.

One in Four Kids and Teens in the U.S. Live with a Parent Struggling with Addiction
An alarming new study reveals that nearly 19 million children and teens in the U.S. live with a parent who has a substance use disorder. That means one-quarter of children and teens are growing up in homes affected by addiction—and for many, it’s not mild. They’re facing moderate to severe addiction struggles, including alcohol and multiple drug use.
Experts warn this can lead to challenges like anxiety, depression, and a higher risk of addiction later on. But there’s hope: More doctors, schools, and communities are starting to pay attention and offer support. If this is something you or someone you know is facing, you’re not alone—and help is out there. Talking about it is the first step toward change.
