So, Josh recently published a guest post on PulmCrit discussing some interesting ideas on the treatment of asthma. This post nearly gave me a stroke.

As soon as I read Josh's post, I knew we must discuss this on the podcast to flesh out some of the issues raised.

I enjoyed this discussion & just have to say you’re both right although it’s not that simple.! Scott, your opinion on the “semi-crashing” asthmatic is only somewhat correct.
