I dont know how fast the pharmacist could have got hold of her perscription. So can't condemn I him/her on what ifs :S

I meant the pen may have just been a precaution as she may never have had such a serious reaction previously? maybe just some tingling or slight swelling, the mum saying 'how could a peanut do this?' sounds like she wasn't prepared for or expecting this outcome.
The pharmacist was the only one who had the power to influence the outcome of this situation, he made his choice not to act, he may have saved her, he may not we'll never know.
I would like to think that in the same circumstances I would have at least attempted to.
