so despite doing this for 15 million years, i've never given Epi -until today.
Kid came in all itchy throated then got progressively more and more moonfaced all the while arguing with me that he DIDN"T need or want Epi until i finally got through to him that he can die if I don't do this. He wasn't happy about the needle but said that the itching in his throat stopped and he was starting to look less and less like Hitch.
I see in his future a trip to the allergist. Now, if only I could see the powerball numbers so clearly.

Way to go!
Also, I felt a weird relief after the first time I gave epi. It's good to have "the first time" anxiety out of the way.
Hopefully this kid's parents take things seriously.
