              three sets of MARK I injections or who has three expanded MARK I
              autainjectors hooked to the pocket of his/her overgarment, or is
              convulsing, you should immediately administer the casualty's own
              CANA autoinjector and hook to,packet next to expended MARK I
              autoinjector.

              and or seizures) Immediately give himlher the 2nd and 3rd
