Day 8, swallow-tailed kite

Squeezing my patient's thigh, manipulating their skin to maximize the efficacy of their shot. The smell of the alcohol wipe in both our noses, laying the foundation for what's to come. Soothing you with calm words before I bring the needle to your skin. It's okay, there's no need to worry. Not as I inject the medication into your muscle. It takes no more than twenty seconds before I'm pulling the needle from your skin and massaging the area with my free hand. Such a good patient for me.
