bleeding a little means you nicked a small vessel. it is not a technique failure

Highlights from this day
push slow
is there any reason to warm the vial in your hand first

i mark the rotation in a notes app because the marks fade and i lost track twice
a small air bubble subcutaneously is not dangerous. it costs you dose accuracy, thats the reason to clear it
do you aspirate, or is that only an intramuscular thing

the difference between 29G and 31G is real but small. the difference between wet and dry alcohol is not small
i changed nothing except letting the swab dry and the stinging stopped completely
i keep getting a small welt at the site, technique or reaction
is 31G noticeably better than 29G or is it marginal
pinch, 45 degrees, count to five, withdraw slowly. two years and almost no bruising

a fresh pin for the injection hurts less. whether thats worth the extra dead space is your call
try the thigh
follow up do you change the pin between drawing up and injecting

i changed nothing except letting the swab dry and the stinging stopped completely
