They gave us injections in basic training without needles... air injection or something.
Not for all of our injections, though.

Hm, this looks fairly similar... what they used was a big gun looking thing.

LOL, I actually got a shot with something like this about 10 yrs ago when I was in college -- YES, just like star trek. It used pressurized air to push a measured dose through your skin. No needles.

Nuts...I was just about to make a comment about being able to avoid track marks, but I guess I'm stuck with them now. :(

I first heard they were working on those a few years ago. Sure is taking them long enough.

they still hurt
especially if the person giving it to you moves, then you get slashed instead of just poked

Awesome. Now only if they could figure out a way to draw blood without needles. Ugh I hate that.

The particles of mist that come out of that thing are so small, you won't feel much of anything. Now if they were bigger :confused: that'd be a different story :roll:
