lethal injection

[bobtheturkey]

why do they bother sterilizing the needle?

[crete]

health and safety .

[joko]

its only polite...

[crete]

the site is also cleaned with an alcohol swab !

[dot.hawkes]

valid point

[Lore]

incase they slip and jab themselves!

At a guess I'd say it's because all needles are sterile to begin with and you never keep an old one. (just for the sake of answering this post)

Duckyboy, what made you think of that question?

[bobtheturkey]

it came into my head at work lore :) hello dorothy

[dot.hawkes]

hello Roberto

[Lore]

ok, I'm getting worried now... I can just picture you sitting there, thinking of bumping off someone via lethal injection.. then the plan hatches above your head...

I'll need a needle, I'll need to inject where it will be so difficult to detect that even Quincy would have a hard time finding it.... damn, why do they only sell sterile needles? I want a rusty old battered one!!

So who upset you ducky? :o(

[bobtheturkey]

im not the full schilling lore :)

[dot.hawkes]

i would think Quincy would find it but you could try under the big toe nail, noone looks there.

[-Zorro-]

they dont want the "patent"t o sue them if say an infection were to occur which caused them great pain in the afterlife

[dot.hawkes]

Zorro that is just not realistic tut

Drestie, I cant imagine a question that has never been asked before.

Just because its been asked before doesn't mean the whole world knows the answer!!

[RATTER15]

Like why is there only one monopolies commission?? sorry, only joking I'm starting to hijack the thread now, please don't answer.

[drestie]

Talking about needles, I took my Irish Wolfhound to the vet for a small operation on his neck, where a little Terrier had bitten him . It took five of us to lift him onto the vet's table (in those days they were not hydraulic). He was a good as gold though kept very still. I held my Wolfie's huge head so the vet could give him the anaesthetic to knock him out. Finnegan (my dog!) suddenly turned his head, nearly throwing me and the already very nervous vet our feet. As the vet was trying to catch his balance, the syringe filled with general anaesthetic hit his arm and somehow the needle delivered the lot! After a few rather choice words which gradually seemed to become slightly slurred, the vet excused himself and asked me to return the next day, as he now needed a long, long, long nap ... That little anecdote just to put a smile on your faces : )
