needles and the obese
November 29th, 2005 by Lawrence David
Injecting drugs into the buttocks may not be a reliable way of administering medicine, research suggests.Doctors from a hospital in Dublin found many patients had so much fleshy tissue on their buttocks that jabs could not properly penetrate to the muscle.
They found women, and in particular obese women, were most likely not to get the full intended dose.
i bet this researcher has some hilarious stories. (kramer’s dictum: if you find a proctologist at a cocktail party – latch on!)
