Her father is suing.
She has a nut allergy and ate baklava? Because someone told her it didn’t have nuts in it? IT’S MADE OF NUTS!!! Did she eat it with her eyes closed?
She didn’t have an epi pen? She didn’t go to the school nurse? Checked out of school and took a walk instead? What? What?
I don’t have allergies, so someone please help me make sense of this. How could a seventeen year old with nut allergies eat baklava and head to CVS for some Benadryl afterwards?
Isn’t that an unusually bad series of decisions? Darwin Award level? I mean, if it wasn’t this, she might have died trying to dry her hair in the microwave.
dude if i have a life threatening allergy, the ‘bill’ is irrelevant. ive actually had to make this decision.
fuck you
I have a life-threatening shellfish allergy and only have epipens that expired in 2016 due to cost, so ymmv ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
and if you had an emergency nowhere near your epis, you’d just go ahead and risk death just in case there was a big bill comin’ your way?
thats the decision everyone is glossin over here… death or bill
Humans are terrible at estimating risk. 17 year old humans generally more so.
I think that under reacting to situations like this is human nature. As an adult, I would definitely call 911 and deal with the repercussions after. As a child and teenager, my parents definitely just made me shotgun Benadryl and hopes for the best. I think judging a 17 year old based off of what most sober and rational adults would do isn’t fair.
