Speaking of expired medication...this is ridiculous. The first responders are retarded.


Within minutes the teen was home; it was about 6:30 that evening, and he was doubled over and turning black and blue, his mother said. "I can't breathe, I can't breathe," he had said. He hadn't unpacked yet so his mom couldn't find his Epi-Pen -- an epinephrine autoinjector. She had one in her cupboard but it had expired two months earlier. First responders told her over the phone that she shouldn't use it.
A fire chief who lived next door brought over an Epi-Pen, which was administered to the teen. (Later, his doctor told his mother she could have used the expired pen, but couldn't say whether it would have helped him.)
 
I have to carry an Epi-Pen Jr for my youngest son. He has a tree nut/shellfish allergy. Little guy stopped breathing 3 Halloweens ago.

Those fokken pens are expensive.

how much is your sons life worth? Out of curiosity what are you paying at the end of the day for one?

the expired pen wouldnt hurt, so why not use it.

Epi-pens kill when used on patients that don't need it. People describe it as running three marathons back to back when the experiance is over. So giving her a pen that is only 70% strong could possibly bring her back only to have her go again. This also means when EMT arrives that they can't use a non-expired epi-pen on her and have to goto using a defibrillator. Depending on her time of losing breathe/consciousness would also come into factor here.
 
FF, I guess i was looking at the situation that the individual needed a epi-pen, the mother noticed it was expired, was told not to use. I have no medical background, but can an expired epi-pen cause more damage to someone who needs an epi pen immediately.
 
Unreal, FF.



I doubt a 2 month expired Epi-pen is that bad.

I never denied it's utility. I'm just informing you depending on the situation using an expired epi-pen isn't the first course of action. Also as a 911 phone responder you can't inform your victims to use expired equipment. There is a legal issue with that. You guys really like black and white around here huh?

Juror, the facepalm smileys we have are not adequate for this one. Can Polaroid come out of retirement to draw something up for me?

I got chu daffffyyyy
