    Ouch indeed!! I'm trying to imagine how painful that would have been, but I'm sure that my imagination doesn't do it justice.

    My brother has to take intramuscular injections in his buttocks every so often, which his wife usually administers. She wasn't around one time, so he asked me to do it. I couldn't believe the mental gymnastics that I had to go through just to bring myself to punch that needle through his skin. If I had been a Roman soldier ordered to, "hammer this spike through his heels", well, I'm not sure how that would have went! :vomit:
