  • @lozinger13 Same here. I passed out and woke up to my mother screaming, I thought i was a goner :( but when i heard that ambulance i felt a smile emerge from my face and i knew i'd be alright. But i still don't know what the case was for my allergic reaction. I'm scared i'm going to die sometimes :(.....

  • EPINEPHRINE!!! lol i didnt know if in the scene the kid had an epi pen.

  • @AirstrikeGaming they succkkkkkk.......I mean, I die if i am in the room with peaunts. It's something that has really changed my life.

  • @AirstrikeGaming I guess. I am allergic to 23 things...foods included. Thanks.

  • @AirstrikeGaming -That's right

  • @Sfikou--Bad shock?

  • @yahssis---You wouldn't have died...Paramedics have to ask the questions to properly assess, treat and make an in-field diagnosis of the medical, trauma or environmental problem. This information is needed so that the paramedics can relay this info to the triage nurse and attending doctor(s) Also keep in mind in order for a patient to have an anaphylactic reaction, they need to have been previosuly exposed to that specific allergen.

  • @AirstrikeGaming---Like I said, ventolin is only used by most paramedics when it is a respiratory problem and the patient has a history of asthma/ COPD. In an anaphylactic reaction, epinephrine and diphenhydramine (benedryl) is used. This all depends on the paramedics local protocol and whether of not they are a BLS crew/ an ALS crew.

  • touching your nose with gloves.....NO NO..TOO SLOW

  • touching your nose with gloves.....NO NO
