What should i have done?What do you do if someone has an alergic reaction on the golf course?I always carry a few Benadryl tablets just in case....What do you do if someone has an alergic reaction on the golf course?
There really isn't anything you could have done. More than likely her parents used an eppi pen which stopped the anophlactic shock she was going into. The best you could have done with out the pen (which you can only get with a prescription and is only good for one year from purchase) is call 911, see if she had a pen on her and administer it.What do you do if someone has an alergic reaction on the golf course?Call 911 and get get someone to find a course staff member. Always tell the 911 dispatcher your location on the course via hole number. If possible and safe, get to a place where you are visible. First and for most always always call 911.

My father is the president of his country club and I am a former paramedic, i just worked with them on implementing an emergency action to make it easier for the first responders and the medics to access the patient and to do it quickly.

You can always take a basic first aid class and or CPR class at your local red cross. If you do not have RC ...most community centers will offer classes. that way you will be prepared no matter where you are.What do you do if someone has an alergic reaction on the golf course?
An allergic reaction to what? Fish sticks? Pollen? Bee stings? How would you know how to react if you don't know the reagent?



It is her (and her parents') responsibility, not yours I'm afraid. The only thing you could have (and should have) done is call 911.What do you do if someone has an alergic reaction on the golf course?Get them to the hospital.
