This week I got to practice stabbing needles into plastic arms. And I really do mean "stab." There is nothing slow or gentle about giving subcutaneous (subQ) injections. It's all about doing it quickly with the flick of the wrist. I don't think I've gotten the flick of the wrist thing down yet, but I will have a lot of opportunities to practice ( Read more... )
