I am a patient receiving allergy injections at a local family practice clinic. (my allergist office is in another town, so I have my syrum sent to the family practice clinic)
Just recently the family practice clinic hired my old high school nurse who has been in nursing for at least 40 yrs. When she gives my allergy shots, she gives then in my deltoid muscle instead of pinching up my skin & giving them in my subcutaneous tissue in the back of the upper arms like most of the others nurses do. My question is, how do I ask her to give my shots correctly & more comfortably with out offending her or starting an argument? She's very old school and probably wouldn't appreciate a nursing student telling her differently.
