New Patch Will Replace the Traditional Injections
	Soon, the nasty injections could be a fact of the past as a simple patch, attached to the skin of the arm could deliver drugs to the body, without causing pains. The new technology from inkjet printer cartridges employs a system developed by HP to push drugs through tiny needles, too short to reach the pain receptors.

The shot is based on an anesthetic, ultrashort-acting sedative and a paralytic compound.
