An EpiPen is a trivial hurt. It's like sticking a pen in yourself. It's like a diabetic getting an insulin injection. It's not painful like a shot of penicillen in the butt, it's a little shot with a little needle, and it's better than dying. Using n EpiPen is better than winding up in the emergency room. It's better to hurt a little bit.
