I thought this was a useful article to share, though some of it you probably already know!

Thanks for sharing, Patrick. Really useful stuff, even if it is review for some.

It was a good article; right to the point. I think the caution/explanation regarding moving an injured person was the most important one listed, because it's commonly done in an effort to do good--and yet it may be the worst thing to do if you're not a professional, like an EMT.

Good article, probably the most common things people do wrong. One thing though is that they don't mention with the epi pens not to look for a vein and to just stab it straight into the leg. The amount of people who think its best to look for a vein in order to get it straight into the system.. you'd probably end up killing them.
