A) "I'm going to give you some medicine in your arm to help you stop throwing up. If you're a good boy and hold really still, it's not going to hurt a bit." B) "I'm going to give you some medicine to help you stop throwing up, but the medicine has to go through a tube and into your arm. So it's going to feel like you're getting a shot, but it will just take a second, and then the medicine will make you feel better."
