Highlights from this day
- apob_over_ldl — the difference between 29G and 31G is real but small. the difference between wet and dry alcohol is not small 12:10
- VialBot — Verification log updated: QYB — evidence added, status unchanged. 14:37
- lipase_lore — a small air bubble subcutaneously is not dangerous. it costs you dose accuracy, thats the reason to clear it 15:07
- apob_over_ldl — if you are getting a lot of bruising, look at how fast you are pushing before you blame the needle 15:15
- eight_mm — push slowly. fast is what causes the ache afterwards a fresh pin for the injection hurts less. whether thats worth the extra dead space is your call 15:49
do you change the pin between drawing up and injecting
a fresh pin for the injection hurts less. whether thats worth the extra dead space is your call
the difference between 29G and 31G is real but small. the difference between wet and dry alcohol is not small
drawing up with the same pin you inject with is fine, it just dulls the tip slightly
small bubble is fine
