update on the earlier thing does the injection site matter for how quickly it hits
[edited]90 degrees works fine if you have the tissue for it. 45 if you do not
do not aspirate for a subcutaneous injection, there is nothing to aspirate for
the difference between 29G and 31G is real but small. the difference between wet and dry alcohol is not small
if you are getting a lot of bruising, look at how fast you are pushing before you blame the needle
