What?

 DZ tends to click on medical articles in the media. They're often characterised by a total lack of research on the part of the journalist, as here.

So it's difficult to say if the statement in this article originated with something the patient actually said, or was misinterpreted by a lazy journalist.

Apparently a lady having nerve blocks administered for migraines by a pain doctor had an anaphylaxis. They administered adrenaline by what looks like the intramuscular route without benefit. The day was saved by the arrival of another doctor who administered adrenaline intravenously.

There is so much about this that sounds weird.

Firstly migraines are not treated by nerve block. In this area Botox has been used, which is a licensed indication. But nerve blocks? No.

Secondly chronic pain is an anaesthetic subspeciality, and nerve blocks are done by anaesthetists, so the pain doctor would have been an anaesthetist. Who would have been well able to obtain IV access and give adrenaline.

Thirdly I would assume that the guy who saved the day was also an anaesthetist. But apparently not. To quote the newspaper article; 

"I think they gave me three shots of adrenaline but it wasn't working, so they needed to gave me intravenous adrenaline when the antitheist came. I think that saved my life."

So what qualifications do you need to be a NHS antitheist? DZ might apply for that.
