Did they gets some rando off the street to insert the IV needle? That's shit even every nurse can do.

You'd be surprised, some people's veins are what a phlebotomist would call "rolly" and move when they attempt to insert the needle. someone else can probably explain better than me.

I'm a phlebotomist and this is correct, there's also many other factors that can result in missing a vein, dehydration being the biggest factor and even just the size of the vein.

[–] jwt@programming.dev 3 points 9 months ago

With me it even depends on the arm. I get my blood checked yearly and they always try the right arm first by default, and they're always struggling to find a suitable vein near the surface. Then I offer them to try my left arm and it's done within 10 seconds.

Essentially.

Medical ethics prevent actual medical professionals from participating in executions. So they make random prison employees do it. So it's often botched.

[–] Lupo@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

I got hospitalized, 2 nurses couldn't find my vein after multiple stabs. A elder doctor came by and teach them some magic trick.

It's been this way my whole life and now I have a fear of being stabbed by needles.
