does your doctor "jab"the needle in???

Some are just rough I think.
When they (used to) teach giving injections they taught to squeeze so that the muscle is raised (ie you don't just inject into fat - it is an intramuscular injection) and aim the syringe like a dart. A quick sharp jab gives a much cleaner, smoother and less painful entry. However...roughness is dependent on the individual jabber I guess.

I agree...

TBH I would not see a Dr for any injection unless it was really necessary, In hospitals, nurses give injections, in dr surgeries, nurses usually do them too, they have HEAPS more experience and therefore are less likely to cross the grain of them muscle or bruise you... It's one of these things that practice does make perfect... Drs just don't do it that often enough IMO... But that's just me
