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.

I'm sure someone has already pointed this out, but I'm too lazy to read 155 comments individually but I gotta say, do you have any idea what an epi pen does? it administers a dose of epinephrine (or adrenaline) so... if anything you'd be on an adrenaline rush, you wouldn't pass out

I use an EpiPen, but it's shockingly common how many times this happens. I've seen it happen before. Next time, don't touch the grey cap. :)

First rule of Epi pen use is that you hold it around the middle so that can't happen.

Wow mate you are a complete moron. You could've killed that kid, not to mention the harm you did to yourself. That's just irresponsible and negligent. Get better. -FrayedxD
