These can be scary and stressful. Not that I condone the behavior, and I am aware that it is not smart per se, but sometimes - to get the nerve to stick a couple needles into my own stomach - I would take a shot before taking the shot. You know, calm the nerves, steady the hand, lose the reservations.... The medical "shot for shot" technique.
