Cough First; Coffin Second....[ Safety Hazards; Hospital Care; S H O R T; Dust! ; Inspired By " Let The Dust Settle " By Geraldine Kelly; Serious! ] Poem by Bri Edwards

Malignant mesothelioma (me-zoe-thee-lee-O-muh) is a type of cancer that occurs in the thin layer of tissue that covers the majority of your internal organs (mesothelium) . When asbestos is broken up, such as during the mining process or when removing asbestos insulation, dust may be created. If the dust is inhaled or swallowed, the asbestos fibers will settle in the lungs or in the stomach, where they can cause irritation that may lead to mesothelioma. : (

Quite an optimistic poem you wrote. I will write one about funeral arrangements...

first comes cough. Cough is is byproduct of suffering and this gradually degrades health. Degradation of health leads to death slowly. So, at last coffin comes. Repairing respiratory tract which we mean as medical treatment is necessary to prevent life for some more years to go towards coffin. An amazing poem is very brilliantly penned...Sorry for the error in previous comment! ...10

Yes, first comes cough. Cough is is byproduct of suffering and this gradually degrees health. Degradation of health leads to death slowly. So, at last coffin comes. Repairing respiratory tract which we mean as medical treatment is necessary to prevent life for some more years to go towards coffin. An amazing poem is very brilliantly penned...10
