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.
EDIT: So as multiple people have reminded me, I remind you – “BLUE to the sky, ORANGE to the thigh”
There are LOTS of errors that can be made in a hospital. Fortunately, at every step of the way, there are people that can prevent it. In the Swiss Cheese Model (This is real! Look it up!), barriers against mistakes are represented as cheese slices. This is especially relevant in medical training, where mistakes (harm to patients) are prevented by having series of residents, attendings, nurses, pharmacies, etc.
I’ve claimed our healthcare system is full of holes for a long time… but this perspective is hopeful… a bit…

Wow Disney Channel has really expanded its dialogue.
SHE IS SO SMOOTH :D
“In 1888, William Williams Keen became one of the first surgeons to successfully remove a brain tumor. A big win. It’s true. You can look it up. What’s harder to find, however, are stories of all the times old Double Billy K tried to pull a tumor out of a brain and lost. The losses must have happened. A surgeon must always be prepared to lose. And in neurosurgery, with the big tumors. We lose those battles as often as we succeed. The key, though, win or lose, is to never fail. And the only way to fail is not to fight. So you fight until you can’t fight anymore. Hold up your head and enter the arena and face the enemy. Fight until you can’t fight anymore. Never let go. Never give up. Never run. Never surrender. Fight the good fight. Even when it seems inevitable that you’re about to go down swinging.”
