Cross posting from the In Memory thread  :'(:

spacecanada:
So many details here sound bizarre.  It doesn't sound like Epi was given.  Bless his family.

GoingNuts:
It sounds like they tried a nebulizer perhaps.

spacecanada:
You are correct: nebuliser.  This story has more details, which make much more sense:

GoingNuts:
It sounds like they didn't understand the distinction between asthma and anaphylaxis.  His dad said he was also allergic to peanuts.  Did their MD never prescribe epi?  Explain this to them? 

My heart breaks for this family.   :'(
