How bad did it hurt?

[doccriss]

@lollipopleahh123 Didn't hurt at all. We used lidocaine to numb the area first.

i agree with salsacrazy1989, air embolis, stroke anyone!

[doccriss]

@jamesdove1987 You're stupid. This procedure is no different than pulling blood out of any other vein in the body.

[doccriss]

@vamedic4 This training is overseen by one of the best military trauma doctors in the business. His instructors or some of the best special forces medics there are. Alcohol was applied to my neck before the video started, I assure you. This procedure has no more serious complications than hitting any other vein in the body. I wouldn't expect you to understand as you practice civilian pre-hospital medicine. Things are much different in my world.

[chuckbowman1983]

Ok, I'm not an expert or anything, but why would you use something other then a protectivcath? Whatever they were using was dangerous, and that comment about combat medics, trust me, you guys are not any better then civilian medics. I know, I have been there and done both. As a matter of fact, combat medics aren't trained to as high a level as civilian medics, hence the reason they can't get reciprocity when they get out. So, know what you are talking about first, before you say something.

@jamesdove1987 You're really, really stupid like 'doccriss' said: ' This procedure is no different than pulling blood out of any other vein in the body.'

Have you ever performed this procedure before? If not, I stongly advice you to shut up.

[AshweeElauraDannon]

go i cant wait to become a paramedic

[Maggie3039]

that looks like it would hurt!

[spin1now]

Where are the gloves ??? I see the instructor putting his c-diff nubs all over the sterile field. Flag.

Fail !! I wouldn't send my dead neighbors dog to that chop shop.

[kellina84]

with severe dehydration that was the only choice for an iv for me. . . . your petrified to move. Once they are done they tell you that you can move your head, but i was so scared i didnt want to! i hope i NEVER have to get this done again

@jamesdove1987 You mad bro? Do you know how much

[mrwildwildwest]

@rhylovesjb gettin stuck in your hand hurts WAY more...

[asatishchandran]

Ps, how did that hemi happen from the removal?...very very sad to hear.

[asatishchandran]

@jamesdove1987 you are absolutely correct. I am talking only interference to this situation where it was a small needle there for a very small embolus that would prob be only large enough to restrict a resp bronchiole at most. For this especially there is definately no ultrasound needed, that gein be poplin
