For doctors, using a normal syringe in some surgical procedures can be an exercise in finger contortion.

Pushing liquids into the body is not the problem it's using the syringe to withdraw a sample that causes nightmares, said Wilmer Sibbitt, a University of New Mexico Hospital doctor of internal medicine.
