OT: Need an affordable Epi autoinjector?

Post by palerider » Fri Sep 09, 2016 6:16 pm

a freely printable ampule crusher to make it easy to use the glass ampules of epinephrine.

I'm surprised they dared to print it (the article, not the stuff). Hope it doesn't make it any harder for kids to use, but why couldn't the other guys who already have all the money come up with the idea? Where's Steve J. when you need him?

dead and good riddance.

he was a horrible person.

the people with all the money are the ones charging 300usd for an epipen (packs of two only!, so 600$)

Of course it sucks. Milan CEO should burn in HELL. But, this is a CPAP forum, please stick to topic. Use social media to protest the wanton greed of MILAN and ask for the resignation of the CEO.

Oh No, Now you folks woke up the self appointed but useless XPAP Forum Police. Jim

Doesn't know about XPAP, but he's learning to spot OT Posts, probably going to vote for Hillery..... Wants a State Department Post.

All well and good. But FWIW, OT means off topic, which then means it's most probable it's NOT about CPAP. You keep telling people to not post this or not post that, which is kinda ridiculous doncha think? People are going to do whatever they want. Off topic threads are allowed on this Forum.

Topic is; OT: disgusted with epipen (Mylan) greed? read this!

So this is on topic; owners of forum allow other topics of conversation - you are wrong.

Now I will wait silently for you to call me a name as you are so prone to do.

Of course this is a cpap forum; and any OT that references HEALTH is not all that far off topic.
---Especially when the health issue is immediate and urgent.
Cpaptalk often addresses DIY solutions, so the topic is appropriate for this forum.

whatever it is, based on his post history, it's too much.

i'd even go a step further. ampule, syringe, and needle will suffice.

The only problem I see is with some kids- the 3D model and the ampule/syringe might be confusing, especially if the kid is in distress. Some might be fine, others may panic.
For adults the ampule or 3D model might be fine, for kids the 3D model might be easier. Worth checking out for people with kids that use epi-pens.

And of course several OT posts are great contributions are they not?

Anyone would think he owned the place
