There are special syringes for use with glass ampules of drugs. The idea being that in cracking open the drug vial, you might accidentally crack off some tiny splinters that could maneuver through the needle, into the syringe, and then into the patient. My resident pointed out, correctly, that not only are bits of glass not good in your bloodstream, they are not good almost anywhere.
Or, at least, the minuses outweigh the pluses.
