I would prefer to be properly trained to do my own subcutaneous injections
Sympathy, we've got a variation of this with my mother, who is supposed to keep a specific injection handy in case of emergency. Do they give the 85yo who'll only ever need to use it in a crisis when she's likely to be badly brain-fogged an autoinjector? No, she's got syringes, needles, a vial of saline and another of powder. Consultant: Get the nurse at your GP's surgery to teach you how to use it, they'll know all about it. Nurse practitioners: What the hell is this? We've never heard of anything like this? Look, if you ever need to do it, bring her down here and we'll do it.
All bendy things crossed for useful phone appointments rather than other kinds of phone appointments.
