If you don't like NEEDLES....

.... here is the guy you don't like:
MARTIN HENRY DAWSON
1896-1945

On October 16th 1940, on the 8th floor male ward of New York's famous Columbia Presbyterian Hospital, Dr Dawson stuck the first ever needle of antibiotics (penicillin) into patient
Charles Aronson, launching a billion needle jabs of antibiotics in the seventy years since.

OUCH !

This Fall marks the 70th anniversary of the much feared/ much revered antibiotic needle - at New York City's CUMC.

And if  CUMC are true to form, they will totally ignore it:

Plus ça change (plus c'est la même chose)
