I was sick and had to go to the hospital today, where they gave me a saline solution intravenously. While the IV was in my arm, another nurse came in and told me to undress for an EKG. I asked her if we could remove the needle from my arm first.
She looked at me like I was crazy and said, "Uhh, you can bend your arm." When I did, blood went back up the IV tube for about 6 inches, and it caused a little pain. However, now I can barely move that arm at the elbow and it is very sore.
Was she wrong?
