Fun to Say, Not Fun to Have

Well, tomorrow's the big IV practicals peer stick day. What that means is that I have to get 10 successful IV starts tomorrow to pass the clinical portion of the State EMT-IV test. Who do I get to stick needles in? My fellow classmates!

So that's not so bad, right? Except they'll get to stick 'em in me too. So I figured I'd better write a quick blog entry just in case I get big blown veins, hematomas, phlebitis, a pyrogenic reaction, or whatever.

I'll bring my camera, and if we get any good blow-outs, I'll try and post a pic or two.

(Okay, truth is, I'm probably just going to end up with a bunch of tiny needle holes in my hands and arms, but it's fun to say the word phlebitis.)
