OH vein

Ambulance call...
pt 17 years old complain of FEVER coming to our department (fever? need ambulance? crap!)
Anyway, seen by our doctor, pt mother request admission. So called the specialist bla bla bla...
received order to set iv plug, take some blood and run iv fluid
My HCA wants to set plug (ok lor, actually HCA not allow to do)
So he locked the door and i assist him (i know... im nice :))

LAte in the morning another case which need admission. Also need to set iv plug, take blood and run iv fluid.
My HCA wants to do it at first but seeing this HUGE woman vein, he changed his mind.
My! her vein very very difficult to find (very challenging siak)
I spent almost 15 mins tapping her huge hand... 1st attempt.... SUCCESSFUL!! (woohoo)
Thats the good thing
The bad thing.. i only able to aspirate 1ml of blood (where got enough!! I need atleast 6mls)
Dont carela... ask the ward to follow up
