I am surprised that she has any experience of im meds being given in the "hip" as doctors and nurses call the bottom. Glad that she seemed to understand the analogy.

I got over my terror of needles thanks to a country doctor who told me not to fear the shot he was going to give me because I would not be able to tell whether I got it on the left or right side. He even bet me a quarter. I took the bet. He swabbed both bare cheeks and pinched me on one side and gave me the needle on the other at the SAME TIME! He claimed that I got it wrong but gave me a quarter anyway!!

He was my favorite MD ever! I have never had a problem with needles again. I could probably still stay cool with the giant gamma globulin 10 cc ones. They apparently are still around when our immune system is our only defense and it needs pumping up.

I'm not sure I understand the analogy of an injection.
