Cold Potassium....

Anyone ever have a potassium IV?

I cannot think of the utter agony one would experience if there was any conscious mental activity.

No thanks-- I'd rather eat my bananas than have them injected.

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.

It’s Saline, Sodium Chloride solution not potassium. Large amounts of potassium are fatal
