I'm still not as brave as you, but I did force myself to speak up yesterday at a doctors office.

My daughter had gotten an insect bite of some kind and her finger was getting really bad. I tried all the natural stuff I could think of, but it was hurting so bad I was afraid of what might happen to her so I took her to a walk in clinic (we don't have a family doctor anymore since we stopped using doctors a few years back). On their front door they had a statement which I thought was good - for the health and well being of our customers, this is a non-smoking building. Well, I had only been in there a few minutes when my throat started to hurt and my head started to get that wierd feeling. I then had to go to the bathroom and while I was in there I noticed that they had one of those chemical emitting "air freshener" machines on the wall. I looked and there were two more in the waiting room. When I turned in my forms I told them that those chemicals were making me sick and that they might want to think about having them removed. I then had to stand outside (on a cold day) and wait until they called my daughter back for her turn. Luckily there weren't any machines in the exam rooms.

Thanks for setting an example for me to start standing up for myself and others <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
