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
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
