Back of the hand is one of the worst places to stick a needle. It hurts like hell.

When I had chemo, I had a quick surgical procedure first to install a port, which was just below my collar bone. It made receiving intravenous medication so much easier and it was unobtrusive, too.
Wonder why his doctors haven’t done that. Unless his veins there aren’t good.
