loaded up the truck and moved to Beverly..

R1: Mr Evans, what brings you to the hospital today?

Mr E: Don't go calling me Mr Evans, my name is Eddie and this is my wife Pearl. Pearl and I have been married for 32 years.

R1: Ok Eddie, why did you feel that you needed to come to the hospital today?

Pearl: He won't breath too good for along 'bout two weeks.

R1: You have been having trouble breathing?

Pearl: That what I said!

Eddie: Yup, thats wat happened.

R1: Why didn't you come in sooner, when the shortness of breath first presented?

Pearl: Eddie ain't one for runnin to no doctor for a runny nose or nothin!

Eddie: I figured I was just smokin' a little too much!

R1: How much do you smoke per day?

Eddie: As much as I got! (he he he he)

Pearl: He goes through 'bout 3 to 5 packs of smokes per day. he would smoke more if I don't hide mine from him!

R1: Eddie, it might be a good time to think about putting the cigarettes down for good. It would certainly help your breathing.

Pearl: Hell no! We won't quit smokin' for nothin!

Eddie: We love to smoke!

R1: Okay, do you take any medications, over the counter?

Pearl: We purty healthy and don't need no medications.

R1: Any street drugs?

Pearl & Eddie: Huh?

R1: Marijuana, cocaine, heroin, etc..

Eddie: Oh yea! We done some coke in the past but it got too hard to afford. Weed we smoke all the time.

Pearl: We LOVE our smokin' dont make no difference what it is we smoke it.

R1: Eddie, how often do you smoke marijuana?

Eddie: 'bout 4-5 times a day!

R1: You understand that your breathing will get easier if you quit smoking. The best advise I can give you is to strongly recommend you and your wife quit smoking or your breathing problems will never improve.

Pearl: WE AINT NEVER QUITTIN!!!!

Eddie: I guess I will die smokin'.

R1: Okay..
