Jimin was sitting on the examination table, waiting for the doctor to administer the injection.
he was prescribed an injection of ceftriaxone 1gr diluented in 4 ml of strile water, and a steroid injection.
he was totally nervous for the antibiotic one, as he has never had them before and didn't know what to expect.
he had heard that it really hurt.
he had been diagnosed with a nasty ear infection so it was really needed, but he couldn't help it.
the doctor left the room to get the needed stuff so he was left alone.
he tried taking a few deep breaths but he couldn't stop fidgeting with his fingers and his right foot kept moving back and forth.
the doctor entered the room,
he was carrying a metal tray with him.
Jimin's heart skipped a beat.
he went to the other corner of the room and wore medical gloves, the gloves snapped.
he took a pack of syringe and tore it open, he got the syringe in hand and uncapped the needle.
Jimin closed his eyes, but the sound of him broking the neck of the vial couldn't let him concentrate on his breathing.
a thick yellowish liquid was pushed into the syringe, when it was fully drawn up, he flicked the syringe to get rid of air bubbles.
he unattached the needle and attached a somehow thicker needle on top.
Jimin was truly scared,
he wished he didn't saw the process at least, but it wasn't over.
the doctor sat the prefilled syringe aside and tore another pack of syringe open.
he flicked the vial for several times before breaking its neck, which he did effortlessly.
he then uncapped the needle and drew all the medicine in the syringe.
he then put two syringes in the metal tray, dabbed two cotton balls into alcohol and walked his way to the examination table.
"you are not ready yet" he said.
"I'm nervous" Jimin let out.
"there's no need to worry, just lie down on your stomach and relax"
it took all his will to turn into his side, the pain in his ear was getting worse by every ongoing movement.
the doctor put his hand on Jimin's back and helped him get into position.
when he was fully laid down, the doctor pulled his past down on both sides unexpectedly. he embraced himself for the upcoming pain and shame.
"don't tense up your muscle, it'll hurt" the doctor said while rubbing the cotton ball on his left bottom.
Jimin was trying to focus on his breathing but he was so nervous he didn't know what to do. he closed his eyes.
he felt the needle being pushed into his muscle. he could feel every inch of it being inserted deep into his bottom. even the insertion was painful, he didn't expect that. he crunched his nose but didn't make any sound.
the doctor started pushing the medicine down, he felt his muscle burning, being in fire.
every little amount of the medicine was making him shiver. it was totally the ceftriaxone one, steroids wouldn't hurt like this.
the pain was getting unbearable for him. he lowkey let out a scream.
"ahhh take it out"
"take some deep breaths" was all he said.
it hurt a lot that he didn't even feel it when the doctor pulled out the needle.
the medicine was really thick, and it took time to be fully administrated.
all he was thinking of was that he had to go through the same treatment tomorrow. he had to take another injection of ceftriaxone tomorrow.
can he go through that again?
the doctor rubbed the alcohol swab on the right side, without warning.
he had his hand on the sore spot, massaging it so it wouldn't hurt as much.
the doctor did insert the second needle in one go, it didn't hurt as much as the first one.
the medicine did sting though.
but the pain of the sore spot was so much he didn't really feel that.
the second injection was done in a few seconds.
the doctor helped him adjusting his clothes and getting up.
he wasn't sure if he could go through that ever again but he was sure he couldn't walk for a few days!

hi guys!
I hope you enjoyed the update.
this chapter was written fully from my experience,
I had a nasty ear infection and had to go through a painful treatment.
I was feeling so bad to the point the doctor suctioned in my ear.
I wrote my experience of taking an injection of ceftriaxone (and I couldn't believe it, it hurt a lot. I'm telling you I couldn't even sit properly for days) but I instead wrote it as a Jimin story.
please take care of your health so you won't take painful injections :(
thank you for reading so far.
I'll be waiting for your comments on the story and your request!
