This Butterfly May Hurt a Bit...
Researchers at the University of New Mexico's Health Sciences Center believe they have found a way to make patients less fearful of needles, decorate them with butterflies, flowers and smiley faces. The researchers said the decorated needles can increase the quality of care when patients are less stressed.
