Yes. Creeped me out the whole time.
PICC lines usually don’t run down that far, And the “pigtail” doesn’t look like a pigtail. Many drugs that have to be run through a PiCC line don’t do well in a peripheral access, as they can be toxic and caustic to the blood vessel, which is why take lines usually land in the subclavian area.
Not sure what it is but I don’t think it’s a vascular access.
However, many interventional cardiologist will use a Radial access to place stents or perform other types of intervention. They are safer and you don’t have to lay on the table after the procedure with sandbags waiting down the femoral artery.
TSOG, RN, BSN, DNP
No. Not possible. An IV bag contains 100mls of saline. You can’t be wearing a suit jacket. There is tubing from the bag with a penetrating flexible plastic needle like tip that has to be inserted into a vein and you have to be laying down.
True enough in a hospital or med office setting.
However in Bidens case with his quite apparent disability requiring quick IV drug delivery while wearing a suit and tie and the need to disguise that fact in a public setting, it's a PR solution.
With 30 minute breaks,it's a matter of seconds to place the IV port and start the juice jump starting the brain, withdraw the port and send him back.
Might also explain his the "Lids" and his hiding in the basement.
Politics drives the need to hide his deteriorating condition...aided by the media, just as FDRs polio and JFKs Addisons disease. BTW, yt has an old news highlights reel that shows then Gov. FDR using a cane and supported by an aide, clearly having difficulty remaining upright...
FWIW, I've had IV ports on the back of the hand several times, never a pleasant placement, but necessary under conditions at the time.
I’ve never seen a pen stuck there. It would fall out! Most people use a shirt pocket.
How about the business end of a medication pump...
Yeah, I’ve had IV ports on the back of my hands too. Just this past Sunday I was wo work in the hospital I work in and couldn’t catch my breath. Had to be keep over night. This is the second time this has happened to me in tow months.
Damn good thing I work in a hospital ER. The nurse put a port in my left hand. She said ‘’You’ve got beautiful veins. Nice and ropy’’.
Hubby’s seen guys stick pens up their long sleeves at his workplace.
That said there’re pics on Twitter of BiteMe’s pen in his right hand while something is still poking out of his left sleeve.
Now I’m really wondering about some kind of medication pump.
I said ‘’typically’’, I didn’t say ‘’always’’ so shut up.
Don’t you just love it when they say that ;>).... especially when they have that near magical ability to make it almost painless, especially the back of the hand.
That’s it right there
reciever antenna...
IV PIC, Had more than my share of them.
DILATING DROPS SO HE COULD SEE BETTER.
What the heck is that? That’s no pen!
I agree it for drug infusions and general pick me up infusions of B-12 and vitamins-minerals. Same as Hillary, Diane Feinstein, Pelosi get some magic juice for critical events. Infusions are very in these days and expensive. They are slow drips where you sit back in a padded arm chair for an hour plus as it drips in.
That said, how many people carry a pen up their sleeve like that instead of in their shirt pocket where it belongs? And did he ever take it out and write with it?
