Anyone can help!

(Real pen the last picture)

It is important for EVERYONE to know how to help ANYONE. Not everyone can give them selves their medicine under every circumstance. Be educated, help out.

In the last year, i have gotten about five new violent allergies from foods i used to be able to eat. Next time i eat a fruit, my throat could close. I may not be able to inject myself. My boyfriend and i played with my trainer pen for like 30 minutes. He knows how to inject it. I know how. This is important.

Very useful tutorial!

But to clarify (on behalf of the multiple nurses and physicians I’ve treated for “pale painful thumb and racing heartbeat”) – it IS possible to prick yourself… if you forget that the orange end is the NEEDLE end, and you slam the epi-pen upside down into the patient’s leg.
