Close but you forgot the most important step. Wash your hands. Also wipe down the prep area so it is completely clean. Also wipe the bottle top off with 91% isopropyl alcohol after drawing.Yes I trained as a combat medic. I wipe the bottle top off with an alcohol wipe. Then I draw with an 18 g two cc. Then I switch to either a 23 or 25 g (depending on what I have). I then wipe the injection site before I inject. After I inject I wipe the area again before I put a band aid on. Sound about right to you
