thats a reaction
mark it down
pinch, 45 degrees, count to five, withdraw slowly. two years and almost no bruising
warming the vial in your hand for a minute is the cheapest comfort improvement there is
i bled a bit, is that a needle depth thing
sharps bin
rotate
quick one how many sites are in your rotation
absorption differences between subcutaneous sites are small for a weekly compound
anyone got a rotation map they would share
is a small air bubble in the barrel a problem subcutaneously
a small air bubble subcutaneously is not dangerous. it costs you dose accuracy, thats the reason to clear it

29G in 8mm or 12.7mm for abdomen
bleeding a little means you nicked a small vessel. it is not a technique failure
do you aspirate, or is that only an intramuscular thing
slightly off topic but do you pinch or stretch
do not aspirate for a subcutaneous injection, there is nothing to aspirate for

how slowly should you actually push
for the archive i keep the sharps bin next to the fridge so the whole thing happens in one place
never recap a used pin. that is how people stick themselves, thats just me
