Differing shot-giving techniques?..Yes..it seems that in the last decade or so nurses are more preoccupied with patient comfort during the injection and I've seen them use even 3/4 inch needles for flu shots on my mom whose BMI is in the 35 range..SubQ injections given at 90 degree angles, etc Because one can feel the resistance as the needle pushes thru muscle I didn't hesitate using longer needles but being measured about how deep I went.. After receiving enough post-op demerol, which you know Ken, is thick as molasses, into my backside as a very skinny teen, I couldn't imagine that stuff or anything else in someone's subQ fat..and one case of injection site necrosis while training sealed it.. BCRX? I don't understand why the goods didn't get to the right places, eventually.. Edit: obviously, eventually was too late for this one..
