i had an iv attempted to be put in the back of my hand when i was very dehydrated. i think they hit a nerve because for a while the back of my hand would go numb randomly, and then later when i touched it. now i seem to be ok.

I mean, why the location in the hand? Is it because they can see the veins? I, too, have easily accessible veins. Sometimes, it is done in the feet when you need to rotate locations for longer term use. Yeow!

I don't know why she picked the hand. To me the veins there look to be good size. But she couldn't hit one. She kept wiggling the needle around - trying to make it stay. And it was all I could to not scream or pull away from her.

Lower forearm -- why don't they do it there all the time? Dogs get it there. Why can't we get the same treatment as dogs?
Excuse me a sec . . . . I'm back, Izaak the Wonder Poodle just told me it is because dogs are superior.Frends know gud humors when dey is hear it. ~ Da Crockydiles of ZZE.
