I did one and was told the result very quickly.
Can't see that being a problem "use your common sense and all that"

If it's the same as mine was, you actually see he results in 10 mins.

For take-away only, and delivery. I believe? (not a customer) I do see the queue of cars, at the nearby McD, as I go about my daily walk/cycle ride.
Is it only McD which should be ordered to close, or, all Take-away outlets?

My brother has a severe phobia of needles, resulting in panic attacks or fainting. It's a horrible situation to be in, particularly as he has a number of medical problems that necessitate the use of them in his treatment.

Are those painless things that fire whatever is being injected straight through the skin in use? I thought that this was the way ahead some years ago?

Nope, don't think they ever took off (at least not in the mainstream)
Needles are very fine these days, I've just had to self inject heparin for 20 days after ankle op (high DVT risk being fairly immobile and non weight bearing)
...no pain from the actual needle...although my abdomen is covered in bruises but that's down to the substance rather than needle (my crap technique maybe didn't help as the first injection done by the nurse showing me what to do didn't leave a mark
)
Actually they do exist...but don't know which companies actually market with active substance (or where)

They wouldn't use for a single use vaccination, far too expensive

I think I saw them on Tomorrow's World yonks back.

Needles can be very fine, but it depends on what they are being used for. The needles on my insulin pens are very fine, the ones used to take blood samples at the diabetic clinics are a lot fatter!

Blood thicker and gloopier than insulin...

Absolutely, and while I'm fairly OK with needles I hope I never have to use my EpiPen - that is designed to go through clothes into the muscle... although if I ever have to the size of the needle won't be at the front of my mind!

Not seen that except in the sick bay of the USS Enterprise!
Wouldn't be any use as an intravenous cannula that he needs now and again anyway. And don't even say the word dentist.
