“I’ll wipe your shoulder with some alcohol. Take as much time as you need to collect yourself. Then I’ll inject the needle into your arm, draw back to make sure I’m not in a blood vessel, and then push in the plunger on the syringe. It might sting, or it might not. I don’t really know. You ought to feel something in a minute or less. But I’m not sure what that something will be. You’re the first.”
