Girl Refused EpiPen...... Dies.

I was kind of shocked by this story. Of course it goes without saying that she should have had an EpiPen on her....but in this instance she did not.



More unfortunate was she happened to be right beside a pharmacy where she was served by probably the only employee in the world who would not simply give the 14 year old an EpiPen to save her life. How stupid can one person be?

When 14-year-old Emma Sloan began gasping for air during an allergic reaction, her mother, Caroline, thought her daughter would be fine after they located a nearby pharmacy. However, with no prescription on hand, Caroline was refused the EpiPen she required to save her daughter’s life. According to Caroline, Emma died on a Dublin, Ireland, street corner in front of her 20-year-old sister Amy and 2-year-old sister Mia.
