Nurse
I am sorry that you had to face a tough situation like this.

It was really a terrific situation.
Nurse
I can realize how difficult the situation was for you patricia. For your information Let me explain about the injection you had.
Patient
Okay.
Nurse
The epinephrine injection we administer to you is used along with emergency medical treatment, to treat life threatening allergic reactions caused by insect bites or stings, Foods, medications, latex and other causes.
Patient
Okay, It doesn’t matter what you have done. It is all about survival.
Nurse
I can understand what you have gone through. Epinephrine works by relaxing the muscles in the airways and tightening the blood vessels. That’s how your symptoms subsided and your breathing became normal.
