An important lesson

[jethrien]

This is your hand.






This is your hand, after a nervous resident botches an IV insertion because of your crazy high blood pressure.







Any questions?

(It was only yesterday that the swelling came down enough to even see the bruise.)

That's how my arm looked last time I tried to give blood. Notice how I haven't been back.

Ouch. I'm sorry.

We wear very similar rings on the same hands. For a second I got distracted and looked back at this page and thought I was looking at pictures of my own hands for no reason.

Got more on the opposite wrist from where they finally got the IV in, plus the elbow from all the repeated blood draws. Ah well. That hand is kind of weak at the moment, but it doesn't hurt too much, just makes it hard to get a good grip on things.

Ouch! I'm sorry. I'm glad to hear the swelling's down.
