If your friend was having some sort of potentially life-threatening allergic reaction and needed you to administer the Epipen shot for them ASAP, do you reckon you could handle it?
It’s not as easy as it looks, apparently…
@kdp_____My throat started closing up so Emilia to the rescue…. And then Kelley to the rescue for Emilia 😭😭🥴 #EpiPenPals4Life #BombPopAwards #fyp
Oh God! Is she going to be OK?
According to one commenter on Quora, apparently so…
Well, isn’t that a relief! As long as her friend’s throat wasn’t rapidly closing up at the time then I guess there’s no harm done. The problem is obviously the Epipen himself; those things can be confusing! I mean how are you supposed to know which end goes into the person’s thigh? I mean it’s not like it’s clearly labelled on the pen itself exactly what you need to do, is it? Oh wait – yes it is. There’s really no reason why this girl should have cocked it up so badly but hey, maybe she didn’t have her reading glasses on. You live and you learn.
For future reference…
For the trans woman who injected industrial silicone into her face and didn’t quite get the results she was looking for, click HERE. Yikes.
