1. A therapy specific, pre-programmed, hand-held auto-injection device for delivering a drug to a patient, comprising:
a housing,
a plurality of syringes carried by the housing and adapted to be fluidly coupled to an infusion and aspiration location in the patient, each syringe including an outlet, and wherein at least one of the plurality of syringes comprises a fluid;
at least one actuator entirely disposed within the housing, the at least one actuator having a plurality of shafts coupled to a distal end of a respective plunger rod such that the actuator controls a position of each movable portion between a first position and a second position; and
a controller disposed within the housing and communicatively coupled to the at least one actuator, the controller configured to retrieve an infusion and aspiration profile from a memory of the controller, the infusion and aspiration profile comprising an infusion and aspiration protocol for at least one of the plurality of syringes, the controller configured to operate the at least one actuator based on the infusion and aspiration protocol, thereby moving the plurality of shafts and changing the position of the plurality of movable portions,
wherein movement of the plunger rods from the first position to the second position expels the fluid from a respective syringe, via a respective outlet, and into the infusion and aspiration location, and wherein movement of the movable portions from the second position to the first position draws a fluid from the infusion and aspiration location into the respective syringe, via the respective outlet.
