Highlights from this day
- gip_glp_gil — the difference between 29G and 31G is real but small. the difference between wet and dry alcohol is not small 13:44
- gip_glp_gil — coming back to this a small air bubble subcutaneously is not dangerous. it costs you dose accuracy, thats the reason to clear it 15:53
- birch_bloods — do not aspirate for a subcutaneous injection, there is nothing to aspirate for 16:09

while im here is a small air bubble in the barrel a problem subcutaneously
drawing up with the same pin you inject with is fine, it just dulls the tip slightly
thigh or abdomen, does absorption actually differ
a proper sharps bin costs almost nothing and pharmacies will take it back
how slowly should you actually push
31G 8mm for everything. i tried the 12.7mm once and never went back

small bubble is fine
dont recap
coming back to this a small air bubble subcutaneously is not dangerous. it costs you dose accuracy, thats the reason to clear it
