I have to agree in their attempts to make it simple, they sure made it complicated. With my son's studies, we have piles of syringes around here, his medications came in a simple vial with that piecing rubber like top and boxes of alcohol patches. It took all but a couple of minutes to learn how give injections, the nurse had me use an orange. Used to tease my son when he had the IV tube that this was going to hurt, er the tube not him.
Have to say for two 1/2 cc injections, sure a pile of crap in that Imitrex box that is pitched, a 1 cc syringe cost about 20 cents each and that is steril sealed, probably explains why imitrex is so expensive. I think that auto injector is really mickey mouse.
