Before the end of the first period the first line of Blakey, Ikaunika, and captain Tim Taylor accounted for two more lightening-quick goals. Blakey pounced on a loose puck and drilled it past goalie Mike Hanson at 12:35, and at 12:54 Harry Howell scored on a long slap shot, with assists from Taylor and Ikauniks. Yale scored twice, on a backhand by Bill Hildebrand at 10:30 and a short drive by Frank Bishop...
Traditional Trick. From studying patients' sores and where they got them, Dr. Hanson is convinced that, with rare exceptions, the upper arm is not the proper place for adults' injections. The muscle bed there is not big enough, he says, and a slight slip of the needle is enough to drive it into the radial nerve, wh re it may cause paralysis...
...best spot for the needle, according to Dr. Hanson, is the gluteal muscle in the buttock. This, he insists, is not to be confused with the whole buttock, which has a lot of fatty tissue lower down. Doctors have a traditional trick for picking the place for the needle. They draw two imaginary lines, one vertical and one horizontal, on the buttock (see diagram) and make the injection into the upper, outer quadrant. But this is risky, says Dr. Hanson, because people are not all built alike, and if the needle goes in a little too close to the midline...
Squirming Target. The best way for the doctor to find the safe region, says Dr. Hanson, is to draw an imaginary diagonal line from a ridge on top of the hipbone to the top of the thighbone. Then he aims above and outside this line. This sort of careful placement rules out the fast injection. It also rules out the common practice of having a woman patient lean over a table and pull up her underclothes with one hand: that way, she exposes only the lower part of the buttock, where an injection may be dangerous...
There is one main exception to his general rule, Dr. Hanson admits. Infants have only small gluteal muscles, and because of their squirming he thinks it is safer to give them injections in the front or outer side of the thigh...
