Aleph Null posted:Could have been solved with, "Benadryl, aisle 3." To be fair if someone rushes in screaming about an allergic reaction it could be a genuine emergency where an epi-pen is needed to prevent imminent death. In which case 'what caused it?' is totally irrelevant.

Last year a teenager in Ireland died from a severe allergic reaction. She'd forgotten her epi-pen and her mother wasn't given one at a nearby pharmacy, because they are prescription only in Ireland. Pharmacists also aren't allowed to give the injection. Now in the UK, from what I found googling around, a layperson isn't allowed to administer prescription medicine; there is an exception specifically for epi-pens, but the catch is you can only administer a person's own epi-pen. So if you're in the UK and having that sort of reaction without your pen a) the pharmacy is the last place you should go to and will only cost you valuable time and b) you're probably hosed. Basically you'd have to hope there's a third party in the pharmacy who will straight up rob the pharmacist for an epi-pen right there and doesn't stand to lose their livelihood for it.

Holy poo poo its just epinephrine it's not like it's going to become the new hot street drug.

Shouldn't Good Samaritan laws apply since this is a medical emergency (that is, is they even exist in Ireland and the UK)?

The issue is that pharmacists are not trained to diagnose an anaphylactic reaction. Give an epi-pen mistakenly to someone having a heart attack and you could kill them. Having said that the girl was known to have an allergy and the risk is tiny in a 14 year old, so it's absolutely tragic that this pharmacist didn't break the rules to deliver the injection. No judge in the country would have faulted him for it even if she died anyway. But ultimately the fault is with the mother. She let her child with a known potentially fatal peanut allergy go out to eat without her epi-pen, let her eat something that was actually labelled as containing nuts, and then walked her around the corner to a pharmacy instead of calling 999 when she started having trouble breathing.

Neither are most citizens but if a Good Samaritan or duty to rescue law was on the books, he would have been immune from criminal and/or civil prosecution. And it was. It's like if a life guard was told to not move from his chair by his boss because the pool is liable for accidents but there's someone right in front of him who's drowning. You are right, it's the family's fault for not bringing their life saving medication, but it is dickish just shrug and say, "Sorry, your fault." The pharmacy is a good place to go when you need a drug and you don't know how long an ambulance will take.

I just found a goldmine of stdh. https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/t0ynr/throwaway_time_whats_your_secret_that_could/ quote:I once helped out my a female friend's family by taking care of their cat for a week. Every day for a week, I would go over there and snoop around their house. I found my friend's diary, and proceeded to read the entire thing. I used this information to get her to like me, and she is currently my wife. quote:I run a cake business. I charge people hundreds for wedding cakes... Every last one is made using Pilsbury cake mix I buy for $1 a box at Walmart. quote:There was a girl who I had a crush on the moment I saw her on my college campus. She ended up dating a douchebag dude a few weeks later. I happened to end up sitting in a study room with him and a few mutual friends. He talked about how he didn't think she was that attractive and how he liked other girls. I wrote the girl an anonymous email using one of those websites telling her about the things I heard and how the guy was a dick. She ended up breaking up with him after she found out he was cheating. The girl's name is.... Albert Einstein. quote:One night my sister who was 19 at the time came home pretty drunk from a party. She was acting goofy and fell on the couch next to me. She started grabbing my leg and laughing and we started fondling. We ended up having sex right there. When we woke up the next day she had no recollection of the night before so i just kept my mouth shut.

You know, I lived in Glasgow for a bit. I never went to a wedding, and I got used to British fare being a bit on the dull side, but come on, even cake? My wedding cake was delicious and so was the cake served at the weddings of both my sisters-in-law, my brother-in-law, my cousin, my old high school friend, his sister... really every wedding cake I've ever had. Do they at least serve chips and curry at weddings in the UK?

I would kill to have some of my wedding cake now. Stupid gluten.
