Highlights from this day
- still_here_2024 — do you use the insulin syringe for both drawing and injecting 12:13
- still_here_2024 — right so the difference between 29G and 31G is real but small. the difference between wet and dry alcohol is not small 12:22
- still_here_2024 — do not reuse pins. it is not about sterility so much as the tip being blunt after one pass 12:25

warming the vial in your hand for a minute is the cheapest comfort improvement there is

dont recap
fresh pin
45 degrees
drawing up with the same pin you inject with is fine, it just dulls the tip slightly
*Janoshik not the other one
let it dry
