Called out for a bee sting 10 miles north of town today. I had the pleasure of running with my Daughter on this call!
Pt. was being driven towards us and we came upon them in 6 min. Pt was anxious, labored breathing, Chest pain, Hives, swollen sting site. Knee area left leg. able to talk. Sister had removed stinger, No Known Allergies. Had been stung many times in past.
Pt. got the Epi pen in the Rt thigh. and removed from vehicle. As we were packaging Pt.went out on us. seizure, lasting approx. 1 min. Pt. came to and didn't present any postdictal symptoms. Pt. stated during transport that sure felt better. Still felt like a moth was in throat. Met intercept, and Pt doing fine.
We have carried Epi for over 20 years and this is the 1st time i got to use it.
Would have loved for my daughter to do it. but she handed it to me.
She said she has many years to come and might get the chance some day too. Gotta Love that Kid!
