Close call

Today, while working at a children's day camp, one of the kids who is allergic to peanuts went into anaphylactic shock. I ran and grabbed the boy's Epipen. I was holding it backwards so the injection went into my hand, causing me to pass out, and both of us to be rushed to hospital. FML

Not panicking is a good thing. Also, paying attention during the first aid training. And it's "epi pen", for the record.

Too bad you can't spell anything else....

#9 - YOU NEED TO SUBMIT AN FML THAT SAYS: TODAY I MADE A COMMENT THAT SHOWS EVERYONE HOW HEARTLESS I REALLY AM, FML. SO THE TAKEAWAY LESSON FOR THE CAMP COUNSELOR IS THAT WHEN YOU PANIC IN CHAOTIC SITUATIONS YOU NOT ONLY PUT OTHERS AT RISK, BUT YOURSELF TOO. REMEMBER THAT. I HOPE EVERYONE IS ALRIGHT.

Aww the poor kid. But you should not be allowed look after kids all day if you can't even stay calm enough to inject them properly.

#5, even if you don't know exactly how to administer the medication, it's still not that hard to tell which end is the sharp, pointy one.

both ends r blunt. wen u apply pressure the needle comes out.

Wow, I thought you had to know that kind of stuff when you have a job like that. #15 - Chill with the capslock.

Life lesson: If you only know the phonetic spelling of a drug, you should not be made responsible for administering it.
