Mansee Arora – School Girl: Injection in School Skirt

One of my experience is that it is toughest to inject girls of the age of 16-18. They are so scared of the shot that they literally go berserk on seeing the needle.  They are usually accompained by their mothers to the clinic to get that jab because they are not willing to take the injection. But their mothers somewhat want them to take the jab.

It is really a challenge to inject really young girls, their movements during the procedure make it difficult to administer shot painlessly and with skill.
Mansee is no exception.

Mansee is a 17-year-old fair and very slim beautiful girl who came into the clinic with her mother.  Mansee had come from the school and was having symptoms of breathlessness and dizziness.  Her mother, explained that this has been happening to Mansee for almost 4 days now.

I made Mansee lie on the exam table, took her vitals and they were fine.  I suspected anemia and advised her mother that she have a blood test. 

Mansee was scared on mention of blood test.

Her mother assured that she will have it done but wanted something to be done for her symptoms as her 12th standard exams were fast approaching and she did not want any trouble during examinations.

I recommended her an injection.  Mansee upon hearing that she would have to take an injection, literally started crying and started pleading to he mother.
But her mother insisted that she had an injection.

I started preparing the injection but even I was not sure how I would inject Mansee as she was so slim.  Such patients get the worse of the needle when it hits the hip bone and shells out hell on them.

Mansee started crying “mama injection nahi please” [mom, no injection please]

Mother: Beta its for your own good.

Mansee: But mama it will hurt.

Mother: Dear, you have to be fine na, your exams are here already.

Mansee was in her school uniform, white shirt and black skirt, she revealed her fair legs from her knees onwards to the point where they were covered by her socks.  She was really slim but at the same time, had an awesome figure.  It was but, instead, hard to inject her due to her being so thin. She had fair toned clear skin and very beautiful eyes which had kajal on them.



Mom insisted on injection.

I indicated her mom to hold her right arm and take her to the examination table. Mansee was totally in fear upon nearing the table.  I could see the fear of injection in her eyes.  I could relate it to the previous shot that she got in my clinic.  It was a Tetanus shot which made her cry like anything, which even scared the patients outside in the lobby.  This was around a year ago.  

Even then, she was accompanied by her mother to the clinic.

Her mother being strict, she could not do much but to lie down on the table face down.  
Her mother said Beta kuch nahi hoga, zara si to sui hai [Nothing will happen dear, its just a small needle]

Mansee: Please mom, ask her for other medications in place of injection [crying]

Her kajal spoiled due to her tears sweeping down her clear cheeks and to the table.

Her mother talked in her ears, she was as close to her as possible.  

Cajoling her, giving her courage for the jab!

I prepared the injection, and indicated her mother to pull up the skirt. 

She pulled up one side of the skirt with her right hand saying
Beta idhar mat dekhna, do second mein injection lag jayega. [Dear don’t look back, injection would be done in 2 seconds]

Mansee started crying loudly, and moving her legs.

Mom: Stay calm dear.

Me: Mansee don’t worry, It will be done in a flash!

Mansee: But it hurts!!!!!

Her mom pulled the skirt to reveal, Mansee’s Red panty.  Then she slid down her panty to her knees, she also pulled her skirt from the right side.  Now I could see her seamlessly fair buttocks exposed for a painful injection.  I got near her and touched her left buttock with the cotton swab, her cry started to get louder after that.  Her mother held her by her shoulder, as I indicated her to do so.  I told her not to make her move a bit.

I removed the needle cap and darted the needle into Mansee’s right buttock, she jerked heavily with a loud cry “Owwwwww!!!!”
Her mother held her tightly, as I pressed the plunger, slowly slowly she became more impatient and her cry became more loud.  I had literally hit her hipbone which caused her more pain.
Mansee: Owwwww! Please take this thing off me!@!!!

Me: Just there, stay calm

Mom:  Do it quickly.

Me: Just done.  I injected the whole medicine and took out the needle.

I then cleansed the spot with cotton swab.

Her mother quickly pulled her panty up, Mansee was still in pain and crying but her crying slowed down a bit since now the injection was done.  Her mother then pulled down her skirt and helped her get down from the table.
Mansee slowly got down from the table with significant limp in her walk.  She was red with crying, and her kajal flowing down from her white cheeks. She cleaned her cheeks with a handkerchief and left the clinic with her mother…..
