Ok, let's bring some facts into this. I agree that she was exhibiting signs of an allergic reaction - but the first thing she asked for was a "Benedryl shot" - that's an anti-histamine.... and if she truly had been prescribed an epi-pen she would have it on her AT ALL TIMES.
There was another hm years ago who needed 24/7 access to their medication and it was in a special alcove that they could get to at any time.
There is no skill in administering an epi pen - you just jab it in your thigh and press. So if she thought her airways were closing up due to anaphylactic shock - which seems highly unlikely given how well her vocal chords were operating - she would have fallen on the pen like a drowning man grabbing a lifebelt.
Then we have the tonic-clonic seizure on the floor - conveniently missing the medic kneeling just in front of her.
Then we have the fast recovery time (most unusual), and the fact that she wasn't' kept in hospital for MRI etc. She's American after all, and over there they scan you for unexpected sneezes! She would expect the same over here - she's as dramatic as they come.
THAT'S why people are somewhat suspicious
