Allergic reaction on an island without access to medical care
Sorry of any mistakes, English is my second language and I am dyslexic
So this story takes place when I took a year long photography course after high school. I lived on campus and did nothing but photography for a year. My photography class went on a trip to an island. You could only get to this island either by private boat, or by a ferry that came every four hours.
The school I went to was really great with allergies and I never had an issue with my dairy allergy while at school but when we went on trips we were responsible for cooking for our class.
So we were at the island, there was no medical care there. Because we were far away from the medical care I offered to cook all the food to be sure I wouldn’t get anything that contained dairy, but I was told everyone knew about my allergy and they had bought specifically dairy free food to avoid anything happening, and every one had to help cook. Well the last day of the trip we were eating dinner and I could feel an allergic reaction coming. Turns out the people who had made dinner that day decided to cook the vegetables that were just for me in butter because it tastes better. THEY KNEW I WAS ALLERGIC. I had to be airlifted from the island to the nearest hospital and spent a week in hospital. The people who made dinner the last day freaked out when I started struggling to breathe, as if they didn’t know I’m allergic to dairy, and that I go into anaphylactic shock if I eat dairy. For the rest of the year the chefs at the school made premade meals for me for our trips to make sure nothing like that happened again
