By the way, look at that horribly mangled, blown-off and then reconstructed ear following the assassination attempt. Why, that bandage he wore for a few days must’ve been truly miraculous. Amazing /s
Why are neck IVs worse than hand IVs? Does that implied a ruptured vein in your arm? I have never heard of anyone getting a neck IV but I’m also not in the medical field
Not in the medical field, but I think you got it right. I saw similar with my grandma, the nurses started injections with less visible areas - arms, legs, later moved to feet and finally hands as her veins collapsed. She didn’t make it to the neck, but I have to think it’s a sign they are running out of places to poke
I’ve never heard of a neck IV. never seen one. I don’t work in medicine but I am more of a professional patient. Have lived at least a year and a half of my life inside a hospital (yes I have done the maths properly) to the point where said hospital had a “this is [whatever my username at the moment is]'s room” for like ten years on the door, and if I got admitted, it was my room as soon as it was vacant.
(it was a nice single room in the corner with a good view of the big tree across the parking lot and had an adjoining single room connected by accordion wall. If it was a slow week in the hospital they’d let me open up the accordion, push the other gurney to the wall and have a human sized room instead of a prisoner sized room. They were wonderfully accommodating)
Anyways my point is, if they are at the point of having to start a line in the neck, they’d probably do what’s called a Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) line (run a larger catheter from an arm or leg to the heart, used for longer term stays or more caustic liquid medications) or a heart port (used for more caustic medications than PICC lines) instead. The jugular vein I would think has too much pressure for a vein to accept an IV catheter without springing one hell of a leak, but i am only an advanced layperson. They did accidentally start going up my carotid instead of down to my aorta when placing my PICC all those years ago, but it didn’t leave a bruise and I doubt it would. Also we’d see iv ports on his arm (mine hung down to my wrist). But you never know.
like i said, not familiar with the procedure. would we be pumping saline/a unit of blood in the carotid to increase pressure? this is completely outside the fields of medicine i have experience with.
Hope it hurts.

I believe the bullet skimmed the top of an over ketchup’d hot dog before whizzing nearby his ear at this point.
Looks like they graduated from hand IVs to neck…
Which would be horrible news for virtually any patient, but in this case I feel most wouldn’t have the same reaction

One procedure would be a neck arterial shunt to try and alleviate dementia symptoms from poor brain blood flow.

Should have used a more concentrated embalming fluid.
If that’s how bad it looks there imagine what his piss and shit covered dick looks like 🔬
Mmmmmmnnnno.
