Overall
I
had
an
okay
experience
at
this
clinic
other
than
the
story
I'm
going
to
outline
below.
I'm
an
experienced
RN
and
know
best
practices
for
IV
placement,
I've
also
done
a
3
month
clinical
rotation
at
a
colonoscopy
clinic
myself.
While
at
the
clinic,
the
nurses
were
attempting
to
find
an
IV
site.
They
took
a
look
at
my
hand
and
after
maybe
30
seconds,
without
the
tourniquet
on,
they
quickly
decided
the
hand
was
not
a
good
spot
for
the
IV.
One
r/o
my
hand,
they
did
not
consider
my
antecubital
area,
which
I
know
is
usually
not
ideal
with
colonoscopies
because
of
the
BP
cuff
and
bending
of
your
arm,
but
I
felt
like
they
should
have
considered
this
spot
because
next,
the
nurses
were
turning
my
hand
and
inspecting
my
inner
wrist.
Speaking
in
their
language
I
could
see
they
were
considering
putting
it
into
my
radial/ulnar
area.
It
is
essentially
nursing
101
and
basic
knowledge
to
know
that
you
never
put
an
IV
here
due
to
the
increased
risk
of
nerve
damage.
Next
thing
I
knew
she
had
the
needle
out
and
was
about
to
put
it
into
my
wrist
when
I
stopped
her.
I
don't
like
to
tell
people
how
to
do
their
job,
but
I
certainly
don't
want
nerve
damage.
I
told
them
they
barely
looked
at
my
hand
and
advocated
to
look
again.
At
this
point
I
could
tell
they
were
annoyed
with
me,
rolling
their
eyes
and
making
me
feel
like
a
burden.
Again,
this
entire
time
they
aren't
speaking
English,
so
I
have
no
clue
what
they're
saying.
After
maybe
a
min
of
looking,
they
were
able
to
easily
get
the
IV
into
the
top
of
my
hand.
Honestly,
total
time
between
me
sitting
in
that
chair
and
them
actually
considering
putting
an
IV
in
my
wrist
was
maybe
2
min.
They
barely
even
looked
or
even
attempted
a
poke.
Very
poor
practice.
