Almost Legendary
Hey Guys am interested in what you think about this........I went to the Docs the other day,and asked about getting a Epi-pen so as to have on hand ,when Iam out on call outs.I am an asthma sufferer (had severe attacks to be placed in high dependency unit )so I always have my puffer on hand but cant take my nebuliser with me .....anyway I am also allergic to bee venom,so ,was told I should get a pen, as this may be needed if I ever get bitten and due to the places where I go to catch ,its not a 10 minute drive to hospital ,most times a chopper would be needed.Anyway my doctor after listening to me thought yeah good idea and looked into prescribing a pen but had to make a call to the QLD allergy specialist a doctor by the name of DR GRAHAM SOLLEY,he informed my doctor over the phone as I was sitting in the room ,that I wouldnt need a pen, as snake venom ,wont give you an anaphalaxis(spelling) attack..:shock:.. is this specialist correct in saying that or do you think it needs to be investigated more ?Because I am confused by the comments that I have read about venom and risks and to what I was informed the other day..
