File this under "Why didn't someone think of this before?" A new needle makes all injections pain-free.
When I was young (about 12) and had rheumatic fever, in the hospital, they injected me several times a day and also took blood. I remember those large syringes and how painful it was, so this is good news for us who hate needles:
Imagine you’re about to get a shot at the doctor’s office.
