SilverBubble,
The short answer to "why there?" is that that's the proper place for bigger doses of medicine, medicine that is inflammatory to the tissue, or medicine that's particularly viscous.
At the same time, though, the proper injection site is at the top of the gluteus maximus, not too far below the waistline, a place where not a whole lot of fat is deposited.
The study doesn't make much sense in that light. I don't know of anyone with proper medical training who would put an injection into the fatty part of the buttocks.

That's what you want to hear:
Doctor: Bend over, this will hurt a little.
Patient: [bends over]
Doctor: ...
Patient: ...
Doctor: Nurse, get me the big needle.

One of my neighbors had a heart attack and died, because he was exceptionally overweight and the EMTs didn't have a need long enough to reach his heart to inject it with adreneline.

I watched a show where the docs had to do some kind of gastric bypass on a large large gal (not sure what her GVW was) and they had to cut through 6 or 8 inches of goo to get to the goo they needed to bypass (looked to me the attatched her throat to her anii). Um...I don't know the length of the needles used.

It's not just needles, all of the equipment in health care has to be supersized. Have you seen the new wheelchairs that are "bariatric", which means oversized load in medical jargon.
The operating room tables have to have a max load weight of minimum 500 pounds; CT scanners min 350 pounds & that's the old models.
It's sad.

Kin,
EMTs don't inject adrenaline directly into the heart. Somebody's been watchin' too many movies.
