what if a doctor injects it in the wrong place? they have to inject as many drugs until they hit the right spot. with needles you can feel if you hit the right spot. :|
i wouldn't want this to be tested on me.

Kinda stupid really, I can see this being useful for subcutaneous injections, but realistically, you can use a 30 gauge needle to deliver a subq injection which is barely noticeable anyhow. I can't see them using this for intramuscular, which is typically for vaccinations and the like because of how deep you usually have to go into tissue. (Usually an inch to an inch and a half).

Yawn. MIT is re-inventing the wheel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet-injector I've received dozens of injections over my lifetime with similar technology, nothing new here.

Title: Cool stuff for the kids afraid of needles.

if I was afraid of needles, I would be way more afraid when looking at that thing... little needle vs that big injector... go figures ;)
