Seems to kick in a little quick for an injection in to muscle. That doc also seems to whip out the needle almost immediately and the mother didn’t seem to resist it. Injecting someone against their will requires them to be either overpowered or submissive.

Think she’s just absolutely drained herself and destroyed from misery.
