(13,912 posts)About a thousand years ago when I was in training we had a ancient house doctor who started IV's. He would come in complaining why you bothered him (wink, wink). He would adjust his glasses and say he could not see the vein very well, turning his head and turning the elbow like he did not know what he was doing. A few good slaps and the IV was in with out the patient knowing it was done. He would continue saying he could not do it and cant see the vein all while securing the now completed intravenous in place. The terror in the patients was palpable... The doctor would leave and the patient would ask when the IV would be put in!!! O'l Doc Wassmuth was a terror...
