It is different than the orange! The orange is not in dire need of help and maybe crying so that doesnt help.. BUT.... the adrenalin IS pumping hard. I found that while I hesitated at first and was really REALLY hoping the medics would inject the shot...it was easier than I expected. I tried to think about What if it was me? I would want the needle QUICK! so I thought fast of all the steps and JABBED FAST! The needle went in without a problem. I would compare it to poking a big chicken thigh... which might not be a bad idea to practice on! :) Susan
