Getting the Needle

I have a lovely older cousin who I admire enormously. 

She is an oncological nurse and sees enough crappy stuff during the course of her working life to make a jellyfish like me break into a million tear stained snotty pieces at the first sight of some poor little bald headed poppet hooked up to a drip stand.

However, my point is (because there is one, believe it or not)  that we were having an increasingly outrageous conversation, over a bottle (or two) of New Zealand's finest, about medical matters in general and she told me that big tough men were by far the worst babies when it came to painful pointy medical procedures. 

This was all I needed to give me an idea ... and thus this little one-shot was born :)
