When I pulled up, he was having trouble breathing.

He's hit several puffs of his albuterol inhaler.

Also, he had taken a nebulizer before I got him to stop, so he's had a bunch of albuterol on board.

He wants to be checked out, but doesn't want to be transported because he's scared he don't have insurance.
