That's pretty much what I thought... my own thoughts were that if you could put in some IV cathetors yourself to save the doctors some time. It would also be much easier to place before the swelling happens, and the blood pressure drops. Then I'm thinking; why stop at the cathetor? If you have the cathetor, why not start the IV fluids; which is standard for any toxicity. What do you think?

As for fighting analphylaxis; do you just carry a bee sting kit? (assuming it's something you get at walmart?) I'm super ignorant on this subject because we just don't have this stuff in Edmonton.

Thanks

Ian
