- cedar_counts — do not aspirate for a subcutaneous injection, there is nothing to aspirate for bleeding a little means you nicked a small vessel. it is not a technique failure 19:21
- endotoxin_ed — nobody here should be telling you where to inject. we can tell you what we do 19:42
- endotoxin_ed — warming the vial in your hand for a minute is the cheapest comfort improvement there is 19:47
