I discovered something amazing today.
So, this may not be news to many of you, but humor me.
This is insulin, administered subcutaneously through a high-pressure jet stream - no needle.

Guys, this is a goddamn hypospray.
!!!!
When I saw this, I squeaked in the OR.
Side note that Anna does not normally squeak, as it’s an undignified sound. But it definitely happened, and I definitely got some strange looks.
But a HYPOSPRAY.
The future has arrived.
Holy cow.
I want hypos for my rhogams and my depos and my methergine and my fentanyl and my versed.
And I want them NOW.
But seriously, how much easier would pediatric anesthesia be if we had a versed hypo?
It would solve all the problems.
Well, most of them.
