From the other side...
Things I learned yesterday.
1. 18g IV's hurt.. not only going in but while they are in..
2. Those nasal prongs for O2 really are annoying
3. EKG patches really do itch, and on me have still left marks you can see over 24 hrs later.
4. The ride is a LOT bumpier on the stretcher than on the bench.
Thankfully, I didn't have to learn what Adenosine feels like.
They say walks are healthy for you.. but mine ended in a trip to the hospital for a rapid heart beat. I didn't even have any knitting with me to keep me busy at the hospital. On the plus side, from start to finish took only 3 1/2 hours and I was fine by the time I got to the hospital.
Always something to learn.
