Chefanim's post about a syringe

[rob5482]

Well just read a post by Chefanim but I cant reply as of yet and wanted to give him/her a little advice, and everyone for that matter. If it is hard getting syringes for filling purposes see if your local health department has a needle exchange program. They are set up mostly for IV drug users that need fresh needles so they dont use dirty ones. For the most part they ask no questions at all at least here in NY. You go in to the clinic, tell them you need a few syringes, they may give you some handouts about quitting (lol) but thats pretty much it.

And no I am not a drug user but am a Paramedic.

Thanks Bob, I think the 2 that I borrowed will last me a while, since I wont be putting them through any rigorous activity. The plastic one the came with the CE2s was getting a bit wonky. Id be afraid to ask someone at the health dept.... in case someone I knew saw me....

I find it's easy enough to get them from the vendors here, plus they come in the sizes I want and I can get the blunt needle ones too.


LOL! Even though I go around town sucking on what looks like a stainless steel crack pipe I still feel self-conscious going to the needle exchange.
