Its the awkward silence at the end and both of them staring into my soul for me

As someone who has an epipen- and never had a reaction - this will help thanks

*Casually rubs clothes* at the end.. him: EHHAEHR

Current Australian reccomendation is 3 seconds not 10 anymore, they changed it a few years ago apparently it’s all in the thigh by that time! 🤷‍♀️ as a pharmacist me and my colleagues were unsure at first but the literature backs it up.

[JaneFlowerbird]

As a person who has a phobia of needles, i thank whoever made this animation SO MUCH FOR NOT ADDING THE NEEDLE PART OH MY GOSH-

[carollynch]

Yes! Please make a video helping this suffering person.

Just for notes: epipen DOES NOT cure the allergic reaction, it gives you adrenaline and last for about 15 minutes, you still need to see doctor after the first injection

[MyNameIsAndrewLuce]

Wow! Doctor, Your eyes are absolutely mesmerizing! I couldn’t help but stare. It’s as if you could see into my soul… FootDocDana yours are nice too.

What kills me is that as a lifeguard I'm not allowed to administer EpiPens because the Red Cross isn't able to certify me for it so the person can sue the pool if I do. I'm not sure I'd be able to just sit and watch if it was actually happening

[isoiloily]

“For the medication to be fully injected.” *tHEeh*

My younger brother is allergic to many things so when he was like 7, someone ate nuts close to him and just from the smell he couldn’t breath and his teacher was too afraid to use an epipen on him so he had to do it himself…I can’t imagine myself in this scenario. When I was his age I cried out of fear every time my parents told me about blood test the next day.

My mom taught me how to use one when I was like 8 or 9 cause she's very allergic to wasps. She had me practice pen on myself (it had no needle) so i would know how hard to jam it if she ever went into anaphylaxis.

[AudreyBroome]

Thank you so much ❤ I am allergic to a ton of stuff so this made me cry

[Хакер-Богу]

Thank you for posting this, this is good information to know.

[KysEcstacy]

You should do a vid on naloxone/narcan too! I know how to administer both forms myself but not rnough do, harm reduction is very important and sadly not discussed enough

[iankellor]

Actually had to use an Epipen on my roommate about a month ago, glad he showed me how to use it beforehand. Definitely a lifesaver!

[Zoezilla]

When my sister was little, she had a deadly allergy to milk and dairy, so she had an epi-pen. My parents trained me at a young age on how to to use them. (Also my sister outgrew her allergy when she was 3-4)

That hand animation was so good that it felt sus...💀

[CatLover]

Just so you know if you ever had to use an epiPen and you’re scared of needles, it doesn’t hurt as bad as a shot I’ve had to use an epiPen before it so trust me on this one
