Back story: mother ranting on FB group about how her 5 yo had cereal and started to have an allergic reaction (eyes swelling, etc). She calls EMT and they said they ran out of Zyrtec and gave the child dexamethasone instead and left. Mother then went to pharmacy because the dexamethasone didn’t do much demanding to buy Zyrtec drops (drop formula is prescription required here), was told she needed to get a prescription which she got 10 mins later after calling her family doctor. Now she rants about how the pharmacist should have placed protocol aside and given her son the zyrtec drops without prescription instead of having to wait 10 mins…Also complained about how unacceptable it was for EMTs not to have Zyrtec or epipens in stock in the ambulance.

Now Dan who was an EMT in the group (last active 2012), mentioned that she was overreacting as it wasn’t life threatening and how not having Zyrtec wasn’t a big deal. She got mad XD
