Ignorant SBS reporter!!

I watched SBS today and something stuck with me. Off topic, not related to QH but what reporter said something along the lines o
"Yeh kaisa injection hai Jo kapadon ke uppar se lagate hai. Yeh serial hai bhai, yahan sab chalta hai."

The sheer ignorance of reporter just boggled my mind. Reporters must research what they are putting out in public, if they are not familiar with certain aspect, was totally ignored here. He could have used this segment to educate people about allergic reactions and antidote to it.

Mr. Reporter, it's called EPI-PEN. And yes it is given through clothes. And yes people do get anaphylactic shocks from peanuts where their airway closes and they have difficulty breathing. In this situation, every second counts, you have no time to look for patients flesh. It is to be given right away, that means through the clothes that person is wearing.

Here in Canada, kids are not allowed to bring any food that contains peanut to school just to protect other kids who are allergic to peanuts. And every kids/person who has allergies will carry epi-pen with them, everywhere.

I just couldn't resist but share what bothered me. Wish he could have have shared this with public who don't know what Epi-pen is and bit more about peanut allergy. But I guess he felt very genius making such a comment and felt CV's are the one ignorant of what they are doing.

Ok, my rant is over. LOL

they r so mean wid their words na

They were just being funny. Not many people know about the epi-pen, especially in India. I chuckled.

These shows hype everything they show. Most of its audience is in the old age quota which I highly illiterate about such things and if they joke about it, they "entertain" those people. My grandmother who watches SBS with me laughed at it. So it's just what the maximum audience likes. They think we don't get certain things. :$
Nice post btw :)

agreed! Lol it's called an epi-pen -_- dumb girl doesn't even know that much

you are so right...you would think India has some really good education but they lack that education in Media. When a serial is showing something that could be a positive information towards society, they always get humiliated. I guess we should just ignore it. Samething in America, every package has allergy information because for some people its deadly & I have seen people getting hospitalize just cause of an allergy.

lol wat is new in it they do make such silly small mistakes lol

I was also ignorant before your update. Thanks 😃

Ya that's what I meant. They could have used this opportunity to make other people aware of it. It may have saved a life or two. Oh well, it just made me mad.
