Highlights from this day

night_pin — coming back to this i mark the rotation in a notes app because the marks fade and i lost track twice 16:17
u100_pat — pinch, 45 degrees, count to five, withdraw slowly. two years and almost no bruising 16:34
u100_pat — do you aspirate, or is that only an intramuscular thing 17:18

ok so coming back after 5 months, has the pinned technique guide changed

does the injection site matter for how quickly it hits

90 degrees or 45

does injecting a cold vial hurt more or am i imagining it
i keep the sharps bin next to the fridge so the whole thing happens in one place

a small air bubble subcutaneously is not dangerous. it costs you dose accuracy, thats the reason to clear it
