Are you me? Haha. I know I recommended /r/VictorianEra to someone here, might have been you. Donoghue rules, I have her latest on my library waiting list haha. I loved Fingersmith too, and Unmentionables was super funny. I'll try to think of others along that line (fiction or non) that you might like but I bet you've read them. The Fasting Girl: A True Victorian Medical Mystery is somewhat related, I even dug up the paper her Doctor wrote about her that was basically like "LOL No she's a fake" haha
Until I started looking back through the IG, I'd forgotten that she hashtags asthma. I am extremely skeptical. I have never heard the wheeze or the asthma cough and am very personally familiar with both.
Also, seconding what's being said about inhalers doing a number on your HR.
EDIT: I just hit the pulse ox video in my archiving spree. I have the same one. It's medical-office-accurate when used correctly, but you can throw the thing off in all sorts of ways-- I mean, I've done it for fun! [I am stuck inside a lot; please don't judge!] I imagine anyone reading here can guess ways to do that, so I'm not going to provide instructions. But, yes, can confirm that you can make that particular pulse ox "perform."
Here's the pulse ox she's using.

Screenshot of an amazon review. It is a 5 star review. The title says " Life Saver for Someone with Lyme and other chronic illnesses. By Aubrey Winkie on April 19, 2018
Verified Purchase
The review reads: This mat is a life saver!! It helps me so much with my chronic joint pain and inflammation. I used it for several hours every day for almost a year. My mat one day stopped working which is really rare but the customer service was absolutely amazing and they sent me out a replacement. I loved this product so much I also bought it for my father-in-law who struggles with arthritis and autoimmune disease.

Yea, you can get rid of that problem for just 17.99 on Amazon but that will not get you surgery or sympathy.
The good thing is, carpal tunnel problems are easily measured in 10 minutes and the test can not really be faked.
Found one cheaper and it’s hilarious
