Why did they not carry a pen themselves, why eat something in a buffet when you know there could be nuts or cross contamination. I know hindsight is wonderful but its an awful story. I've been on flights where they can't give out peanuts or ask you not to eat peanuts due to someone on board having an allergy.

SOS bracelet, they've been around for years.

Not sure it would help with a chemist that won't give out a pen though.

I hope she isn't blaming the pharmacist as well as not blaming the restaurant

"When did you realise?"
FFS, is there any end to this man's probing of death misery?

withless · 14-04-2014 01:55PM

Actually fair play to this woman, she has put her cards on the table and her campaign makes sense.

Exactly, and this is a very recent loss for her.

Truly tragic loss and I'm sure she's blamed herself a thousand times and will probably never be done thinking "if only".

I would definitely sign that petition....
If I had a pen

We'll never know if the epi-pen would have worked, but it's shocking the pharmacist refused to hand one over. Utterly disgraceful.

I agree with you but at the same time I can see how it happened.

People are allowed little discretion at work with current processes and procedure.

My understanding is you need a prescription for one? So how is it utterly disgraceful? Ever heard of medical malpractice?

Walk down O'Connell Street at that time in the evening on a dark winter night, it is like something out of the Walking Dead with the amount of junkies. It is tragic and awful, perhaps if they had have brought her into the chemist maybe they would have understood and risked it, but they'd be risking everything administering it (I would think). The mother was highly upset may not have been coherent for all they knew it was someone chancing their arm. The time involved was very short too.

Sad that we have become so consumed by legal action that we'd choose not to help out a person who was obviously clearly in big trouble.

I think that case would be pretty easy to distinguish from a junkie or whatever coming in looking for something.

Dublin_Mom · 14-04-2014 02:08PM

why do people always expect someone else to educate them, support them, spoonfeed them?

For heavens sake read up on it yourself and educate yourself, I really despair of this mentality of thinking everyone else should do things for you

Its your kid, your responsibility

I have heard that it can be dangerous for some people to use an epipen because of other conditions such as asthma. It's not as black-and-white as these people are making out.

ThisRegard · 14-04-2014 02:09PM

Why does it matter on what street and how busy or quiet it was Joe ?

I'd agree if she had have brought her daughter into the chemist with her or brought them out to see her, but the mother said she was extremely agitated and distressed asking for it, she has a very 'dublin' accent so it may not have been that clear.

So, are you saying a trained pharmacist would not have been able to recognise AS and administer on the spot? You do a dis-service to pharmacists. An erroneous administration of an epi-pen might have had a downside, but preferable to the child dying in the street, don't you think?

What would this woman have done if it had happened 30 minutes later when the shop was closed!

Big C · 14-04-2014 02:15PM

epipen cost about €120 and it is recommended to have two, they have a shelf life of 12 mths
