How to administer an Epi-Pen

A quick "How To" Guide on administering an Epi-Pen.

My husband is anaphylactic to bees and as a paramedic I enforce the need for him to carry an Epi-pen (or two) everywhere he goes. Unfortunately they expire every year and whilst expired medications may be of some use, they certainly weaken over time and become less effective. I am not willing to take a gamble on my partners life, so they get replaced as soon as they reach expiry. (In Australia they are FAR cheaper than other countries - which affords us this luxury).
So rather than discard them, we decided to put them to an educational use.

This has been shot in slow motion to allow us to see how the medication is rapidly administered. In practice this process is far more efficient.
