    As someone adjacent to the medical field I’m surprised they try to push 100mL through the arm at all. It’s a large volume for a relatively small vein, but it is probably easiest to hit I suppose.

    Doctors can’t be involved in the injection (Hippocratic Oath), so they end up with unqualified (potentially sociopathic) individuals doing the medical aspect of the work. It’s inhumane and barbaric.
