Mom, aged 81, was rushed to the e-room last year due to nausea. Blood test revealed critically low potassium. She was admitted, conscious, for 2 days and administered potassium IVs. She said it burned like Hades and made the nurses dial back the flow rate for a little relief.
They even spike it with lydocane and it still hurts like hell. Nope. Let me die. And I am dead serious. I would not want the CHANCE I had any conscious activity going on filled with it.
I have had a few of them due to med issues and uptake problems. NOT A CHANCE I want to be filled with it. I also want to know flush it from the tissues after a long soak considering a potassium OD will kill you all over. And it does not take much.
