A Learning Opportunity

I had an opportunity to expand my nursing knowledge and experience today. I gave some poor guy his travel immunizations which included typhoid, polio, and hepatitis A. He also needed malaria prophylaxis. He declined the rabies series, thank goodness. I sure as hell didn't want to be giving out rabies shots. No way.

I don't like giving shots. I especially hate giving shots that hurt people. Like tetanus. I really hate giving tetanus shots. So all morning, I knew this agent was coming in for these exotic immunizations, and I was dreading it. But it went OK. I think it hurt me more than it hurt him.
