No it hurt a hell of a lot more let me tell you!!!

Yes, not much fun, especially when scared of needles. Add to that I had a nose piece for constant oxygen, its a great advertisement to quit smoking (although didn't work for silly me).

Hope you are on the mend.

Hi Pat
There are people who can give needles and others that think they can and should change professions. Hope you are feeling better soon. Take care Beth

That's ridiculous! I thought it was from a horse.

Watch out for public hospitals in Feb-Mar as it is the period when new interns start out! Mind you if you think you'll get a better quality cannulator by having private insurance think again!

Last time I was in hospital the same thing happened to me

I've been in a lot over the years and when I told them something was wrong and that they must've missed the vein, they disagreed saying"there will be some discomfort

an hour later my arm looked like Popeye's, thats when they fixed it for me and gave me some morphine

mmm Morphine

[spilota_variegata]

Should have got my wife to put the cannulla in - she must be the best in the world
