I've got thick hide and deepset veins. Therefore it is always an adventure when a new medical type tries to start an IV on me.

... Four attempts in the back of my right hand later; I tell the lady to wrap the tournequette around my left bicep. I then flex three times and roll my index finger deep along my inner wrist ...

and while she's watching ... take the damned thing and start my own fucking IV!

"Okay, you can tape it in place now."

The look on her face was priceless.

... Though I paid for it later ...

Guess who has found his first "mild" allergy?

Seems the dye used in the compare/contrast CT Scan doesn't agree with me.

"You will feel a little warmth spread as the dye works it's way through you."

Warmth ... more like ... NAPALM!!!

Oh what a lovely teaparty

And now your moment of ... EWWWWW?

Diago! .... sweaty!
