My wife got really ****ed off at her friend that cannot give shots
because she's chicken. One time the dosage was incorrect so the chicken
had to correct the mistake. She used the same needle on the rubber seal
of the drug vial and when my wife attempted to give the injection, the
needle bounced off the guy's skin. It's embarrassing for this to happen
to an RN. As they say, no good deed goes unpunished...

People of my generation might be excused for fearing injections. I
remember when the school nurse would be administering shots.... yes...
we had school nurses.... and they would use the same needle for everyone
in the class.

Years later I was in university and got a job as animal caretaker in
the Psychology department. I had to get a tetanus shot. I put it off for
weeks. I finally got the shot and I didn't feel a thing.

You're right about that, reusing a needle would be a no-no today. The
needle gauges available today are quite fine. It's amazing!

Yep, I know, I'm an RN.

BD syringes is glad about that!! They sell a LOT of these single use
syringes.
