When my doctor recommended a specific type of syringe and needle for my medication, I was curious about the reasons. He explained that the medication’s viscosity can affect which needle to use because thicker medications might require a bigger gauge to flow properly. Learning that each type of injection needs a different approach made me more aware of the complexities of medical supplies like needles and syringes. It’s not just about delivering medication but doing so in the most effective and least painful way possible for the patient.
