You can prefill the needle and keep it in a pencil case. Syringes work fine through clothes, although not ideal.

I’m an insulin dependent (T1) diabetic. I keep a glucagon kit on hand in case of an emergency. It’s a syringe and vial that needs to be mixed. The idea is that if you’re unconscious, someone that is close can administer. If I were severely hypoglycemic I’d have problems, but my partner wouldn’t. I could pull it off if it were prefilled, but you can’t prefill glucagon.

Edit: I totally get it and agree though. Life saving medicine shouldn’t have any barriers.

I’ve always wondered why those that might need an epinephrine shot don’t keep a vial and needle on hand. A vial of epinephrine goes for about $35. No judgement, just genuinely curious.

I don’t think there’s really a comparison, but the US Fed increased the prime rate significantly more than how you worded that. They did it over a year or so depending on how you interpret the data. The rate was increased by 5%, which is more than double, from 3/22 to 8/23.

The way I read it, the fine is capped to $1M NOK.
