If your at the point of needing epi theres probably a fairly decent amount of perephial shunting away from the skin from shock (perephial vasoconstriction). There isnt the neccessary blood flow to make SQ reliable to work quickly.

Excuse any spelling, i'm mobile...

Thanks for the responses guys.

Glad to see I knew what I was talking about and not just thinking out my ass. Guess this Basic knows a few things :devilish:
