I actually went with him to the ER. He found the four shots in the butt to be pretty unpleasant, though. I wonder how I'd react in that situation. Did she give you all four in a row, or did you have to wait between shots to see if there was a reaction (as my friend did)? Were you nervous before the shots started?
