Staff Vaccinations

ak. As Tuesdays tend to be a bit quieter at the hospital, it was decided that today the staff would receive their immunizations against Hepititis B. One would think that a hospital staff, especially its medical staff, would be immune to the fear of needles. However, Nurse Kennedy, who some days immunizes hundreds of patients himself, could barely contain a shriek as the needle was inserted. He was not alone in fear...several of the staff grimaced in 'severe pain' when receiving their injections!
