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?

Had to take a call so only responding now.

If a pharmacist working in that particular pharmacy on O Connell street is expected to go out on the street to investigate every incident of people collapsing in the general surroundings then they might as well just start "pharmacists patrol" 24/7.

Its a sad case but I think blaming the pharmacist is OTT.

Here's someone who recognises she has an allergic reaction to something and managed it in a proper way. Well done to her.

This woman is far too sensible for LL.........she'll have to go!

Very sensible caller, it's a wonder she's still on!

BPKS

A person talking sense on the matter. Joe will cut her off fairly sharpish.

sudzs

Joe's getting cranky with her now She's far too intelligent for Joe!

Lapin

I doubt she'd give a fiddlers who adminstered it if she was unconcscious at the time.

"Busiest street" on the "busiest shopping day of the year"

AK333

the M50s the busiest road in the country, no eppy pens there either !

Tunnel vision? Joe has that too!!

Dan Jaman

"I can see my hubby for the first time, Joe.
Bit of a shock, Joe."

HeidiHeidi

How did that girl last so long on the line with all the sense she was talking?

Aha, a syndrome. Even better than anaphylaxis and defibulators!

pc7

I've a feeling this caller has been waiting years for this topic to come up so she could tell Joe all about it.

The difference is that she knows............!

constitutionus

"just my brain and my eye are not working...."

sounds like a liveline caller alright !

joe6pack

So is the hubby in a jock or what?

pc7

Ahhh did she get rid of the dog!

PauloMN

"Hubby" is something that a newly wed 25 year old might call their husband. Sounds odd a woman of her years referring to her "hubby".

Sittingpretty

People who say "hubby" should be rounded up and jettisoned into outer space.

CarrickMcJoe

Everyone out with a tale to beat the last one now, next caller, Hello. Joe, my name is Lazarus. I was dead but.............

joe6pack

Sometimes I wish I couldn't see my wife.

A bit disingenuous, really. A distraught mother rushed into the shop, exclaiming (perhaps not totally coherently) that her daughter has gone into AS - I'd like to think most responsible pharmacists would at least have a look at the child and give the mother the benefit of the doubt.
No, instead we have what appears to be a cover-your-ar5e situation that cost the child her life. Even allowing for exaggeration and some blowing up by Joe, it's not good.

Maybe. But couldn't it also be that she had just fainted or had a panic attack, and then giving her an adrenaline shot could kill her? And then people would ring Joe Duffy about how pharmacists shouldn't give out medication just because someone shouts about it

CountyHurler

I'm really sick of listening to Padraig Duffy of the GAA playing the victim... Again today he is hiding behind the same strawman argument "Well the people abroad having been coming to us asking 'when can we see the games' and they wouldnt be able to see it without this deal".. It would certainly have been possible for the GAA to broadcast the matches FREE through local stations, if enabling ex-pats to see the game was their primary goal...

Listening to Duffy, he makes Oscar Pistorius seem genuine...

grandad was in the army, uncle was in the army so my daughter has an automatic right to be in the army joe

I feel they shouldn't have gotten rid of the height restriction in the Guards, maybe lower but not get rid. It looks so strange when I walk past a male Guard and I'm taller than him and I'm not even that tall.

sudzs

Defcon 3... WHAT is he talking about??? :rolleyes:

Harry Angstrom

We're gonna need tall soldiers for when the Russians invade us.
