Object
Abbey's Flumadine syringe (single‑use syringe with labeled Flumadine vial)
A single‑use hypodermic syringe paired with a small, labeled Flumadine vial as depicted in the President's bedroom: clear plastic barrel with graduated markings, a plastic plunger and a slender stainless‑steel needle, containing an amber‑tinged dose of Flumadine. Physically unwrapped and held/administered by Abigail 'Abbey' Bartlet in the urgent bedside triage, the combined syringe + vial instrument is the concrete delivery device used to inject the antiviral medication.
