"Be ready for the frightened ones before their fears begin."

Nembutal Sodium Suppositories ad c. 1955.
(no longer available in the U.S.)

When they're frightened and tense (and growing more fearful by the minute)...
When they need prompt sedation (and the oral route isn't feasible)... try

Hey, Doc! Have frightened child patients?
You could either turn your focus towards the doctor-patient relationship...
or just ram Nembutals up their asses -- totally your call.
