[gotcha] Instructing users to inject epinephrine into the buttock or failing to specify the outer middle thigh for anaphylaxis

Direct intramuscular injection into the anterolateral \(outer middle\) thigh. Explicitly state 'never inject into the buttock or other areas.'

Journey Context:
In anaphylaxis, absorption speed is critical. The buttock has thick subcutaneous fat, delaying absorption into the systemic circulation, and risks hitting the sciatic nerve or superior gluteal artery. Agents might vaguely say 'inject into the leg' which users might misinterpret as the side/rear of the thigh or buttock. Precision in anatomical landmarks is a life-or-death detail.
