How to give medication to an awkward rabbit

This video explain how to give syringe medication to big or awkward rabbits.
My rabbit, Grimlock, has been ill for most of his life. He is eight years old at the making of this video. I have to give him oral an injectable medication every day, some of it twice a day, so I've had to find a reliable and stress free method in which to do it. This is what has worked for us.
I've tried putting him on a table, getting people to help me, wrapping him in a towel, putting it on food, you name it, I tried it. He would wriggle, struggle, kick, bite... When you watch the video and see how compliant he is, you wouldn't believe how much stress we went through with medication. This way he stays calm. So hopefully this will help other rabbit owners.

I edited out the bit where I clean his nose as there was a lot of snot. :)

I'm sorry about the size of the video, I've never made this sort of video before.
