This is the DEATH MASK of a young woman who drowned in the River Seine in the 1880s.
As was customary in those days, her co**se was put on display in the Paris mortuary, in the hope that someone might recognize her and claim her body.
The pathologist on duty became entranced by the girl with the enigmatic half-smile, and so he commissioned a plaster cast made of her face. This mask was replicated many times over. She became known as "L'Inconnue de la Seine,” or “The Unknown Woman of the Seine.”
In 1955, a toymaker named Asmund Laerdal created what we now know as the CPR doll. Asmund wanted his mannequin to have a natural appearance. Remembering a mask on the wall of his grandparents' house many years earlier, he decided that the L'Inconnue de la Seine would become the face of Resusci Anne.
So you see, this anonymous woman who drowned in the 19th century is responsible for saving many, many lives the world over. It is said that she has the most kissed face of all time.

Natasha had food allergies and her 2 EpiPens went with her wherever she went. We had always considered them to be magic wands in the event of anaphylaxis. At the airport she had started feeling unwell when boarding a BA plane. Not long before, she had eaten a baguette sandwich that had sesame seeds that weren't listed on the food label. Natasha was allergic to them.

Her 1st symptoms were a wheeze for which she took inhaler but it got worse rather than better. She took an antihistamine before raising her t-shirt to show her dad, huge raised hives on her stomach and sides that looked like welts. It was then that her father administered her first Epipen and soon after, the second. A junior doctor who happened to be on Natasha’s flight did everything he could to try to save her but there was no additional adrenaline he could use in the plane’s emergency medical kit. An air-steward helped take turns with CPR until French paramedics boarded the plane once landed. Finally a defibrillator was offered, but it was too late.

On the plane, Natasha had no way of receiving the urgent medical help she so desperately needed. She had eaten a lot of sesame seeds. Doctors tell us they don't know why some people die from anaphylaxis, though most don't but EpiPens are the first line of defence in an allergic medical emergency. At Natasha’s inquest the allergy specialist suggested that the 2nd shot of adrenaline from her EpiPen should have gone into her opposite thigh, and it makes sense, because adrenaline constricts blood vessels, but unfortunately there is no conclusive medical evidence yet to prove this.

I don't know why the EpiPens didn't save my daughter, other than I believe she needed more adrenaline and urgent medical attention. EpiPens do save lives for the majority of people experiencing anaphylaxis; always carry two that are in date, never let them get too hot or too cold as this can affect the efficacy of the adrenaline and know exactly how to use them by practicing with trainer or expired pens. If you suspect anaphylaxis, administer without hesitation and call for emergency medical help immediately.

It could save a life.💜
