I like your interpretation :) It's because it looks like a small butterfly. The shape is basically a short needle with large plastic wings on it to hold (not like a syringe). I'm actually pretty confused at howthey inject the stuff since I never watched them do it and don't know where the chemicals come from... Hey! Maybe it's in the wings! Oh... That might explain it.
They have a tube coming out the end, don't they? I'd say the chemicals come from wherever the other end of the tube is. ;) Would you go for the MRI in Canada, or France, or Switz? *hugs*
I don't remember there ever being a tube... Maybe when I was looking away they managed to pop one on with lightning-fast speed, but it seemed to be done so quickly that I sorta doubt it (it's not impossible, however). It would take 6 months to get an appoinment in Canada, so I'd probably get it done in Switzerland. I dunno really.
Hey, I just googled butterfly needles and apparently they do have a tube attached. During the MRIs I was lying down with my head immobile in a cage-type thing, after all, so I guess it's not too obvious to see from that view point. Click here to see a butterfly needle Interesting...
OMFG THAT ARTICLE IS OMG SO SCARY. *wibbles* Ugh, I am definitely needle-phobic. But there's no way I'll be able to confront it with regular exposure to needles. I felt ill just reading that article. I pretty much had a panic attack when I had to have the anaesthetic injection for my operation. I don't like it. Argh. I think I'm going to try and get hypnotherapy or something.
