ironhead said:Yeah you pull back on the plunger a little before you pin to make sure you didn't go in to a vein or consequences could be deadly
kingofclowns said:lots of conflicting info here. If you look into it, nurses aren't taught to aspirate im injections really anymore it seems? Also my test doc did not instruct to aspirate.
kingofclowns said:Tbh I don't understand how you could be at risk to inject in a vein, veins are at the surface aren't they? If you go 1/2 inch in and even Knick a vein, the needle would effectively be a dyke, and the oil would still go IM.
T-bar said:It used to freak me out getting that little bubble, when you're taught that bubbles are bad. Now I'm just glad it's not blood and I fire away.
But kingofclowns (we really need to come up with a nic name) is right... when I've gotten shots from my nurse she just stabs and shoots. No hesitation. But maybe that's because they shoot in the ass rather than the quad?
bossman said:i have noticed a lot of blood when i pull the needle out the last two times i've pinned. is this anything to be concerned about?
bossman said:i've been dropping the hammer pretty hard, should i inject more slowly?
