Thank you for keeping my job!! Appreicate you a ton!!

Very enlightening explanation, excellent professional. Many people in my country still follow the old school of aspire...But I never aspired myself

[timeameszaros]

I'm wondering, if you inject without aspirating first, is there any damage you can cause? The needle being for IM injection, the most than can happen after my logic is to hit a capillary.

Who else is here for Steorid injections 👀

Dude, those were THICK needles! Most people on trt use 25 gauge 1.5 inch needles. IM with an 18 gauge???? WOW. Usually an 18 gauge is only to draw from a vial, then swap it out for injection.

You guys are great, but it would have been so much better if you have had an actual person with the proper attire for instructional purposes. Nevertheless, thank you for the video!!

Good day, i have a few questions. Is it okay that half of the needle of 3cc syringe will be injected? Will it still be effective? Thank you.

[KanchanaMadushani-yi]

everything is ok, but last end did not aspirate the syringe why?

I got a vaccine Wednesday afternoon .It was the most painful I have ever had.She put the needle in slightly then she jammed it deeper.My arm, shoulde,r up my neck into the shoulder blade hurt so bad with burning and shock pain. Then she injected the vaccine so fast it burned even more. I am wondering if she went too deep and hit a nerve. I have never had pain with a shot ever before. They always feel like a little pin prick to me. It is 2 days later and still hurting in the same areas.

[mikehill]

you reversed the gauge of the pink (20g) and green (18g)

[AnnaMarieFornan]

[genregaming]
