[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I stopped sending in epipens when the school started stocking them. They are too expensive now to have multiples. The school [b]should always[/b] have two on hand.[/quote]

Nothing ever gets misplaced and nobody is ever on leave in FCPS.  They never ever make mistakes.  And your kid's life is not worth the money.  Thanks Mom.

And you can't sue when you knew about this allergen and didn't provide the medication needed.  Other students need insulin, etc. and the school is not stocking that (among other things that students need).  [/quote]

And when seconds truly count, you'd better hope that there's a certified, trained staff member in that clinic the moment the emergency arises.  Otherwise, you a must consider that the person covering the clinic is a volunteer and unable to administer any meds.  Your student would be at the mercy of a trained and authorized staff member who would be summoned to administer the epipen.  Schools train for this scenario, but does anything disastrous follow a textbook example?  Your student might have to wait for the rescue squad to arrive to give the initial or additional shot.  As a mom of both an insulin-dependent diabetic and a severely allergic, asthmatic kid, I've spent far too much time thinking about just such emergencies.
