Confessuon--I might have done the same thing.
I swear I can spell in real life.
The reaon I asked was because in a situation where I was going to epi myself, I have thought that it might not be mission critical to go to the ER. It was for breathing. And really, as long as it cleared things up for me, I woukd have not needed further medical treatment.
I think I'm your situation, you simply gave him Epi rather than Benadryl. And had it progressed, you would have called EMS.
I think we know how EMS and the ER would have responded had you gone in--I hate to say. I see a huge eye roll happening. Of course, we should never avoid calling 911 because we are worried about how medical staff would think of us, but I am guessing if you had gone to the ER you probably would have been the recipient of a resounding "Huh??"
I'm not advocating not calling 911 after administering Epi, but I can totally understand why you didn't in this very particular situation.
Again
