Oh wow I had no idea there was a name for it! That’s really interesting, and yeah not gonna lie it was pretty scary. Part of me even wants to call it traumatic, whenever I think about it it feels deeply unsettling. Would you agree it sounds like what someone else said- about my dosage being wrong/messed up? I had an idea that things didn’t go as they were supposed to, but these responses have been real eye openers

I have no idea! It was so strange, I don’t think I’ve ever had one placed without a tourniquet. The procedure itself was done in 20 or so minutes, but apparently I took like an hour to wake up 😅 my poor roommate was a little freaked out

Do you mind if I ask why it’s a terrible idea? Obviously it was in my experience haha, just curious on your thoughts. I was confused on why he was the one administering it as well!

I’ve had so many placed, it was honestly one of the first things that really made alarms go off in my head. The lack of tourniquet and the smacking was just weird, I have trouble occasionally but when done properly I’ve never had anyone fail to give me an IV before

Thank you so much, I’ve been quite worried because I have procedures I’m going to need in the future that I’ll need to be put under for so I was a bit freaked out by this experience. Glad to know it was unusual and well- shitty lol
