Epinephrine is often injected directly into the heart when trying to resuscitate someone having a heart attack. It's also used to reverse anaphylactic shock (allergic to a bee sting or something similar). Lidocaine is a local anesthetic; they would use something like that to deaden the area before suturing a wound shut.
