    Haha, didn't know that! Doesn't sound too different from the current system...
    It is, of course, obvious that speed, or height of fall, is not in itself injurious ... but a high rate of change of velocity, such as occurs after a 10 story fall onto concrete, is another matter.

    Twitchy, you should come up here for a weekend! We do sticks every time a group of us gets together! Its a perishable skills, and you have to keep it up or lose it!
    RELIGION IS LIKE A PENIS
    Its fine to have one,
    Its fine to be proud of it,
    But please dont whip it out in public and start waving it around,
    And PLEASE dont try to force it down my children's throats.

    An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.

    would this stick training happen to occur because of a hangover?

    Pull the skin tight. Veins only roll cause you're not holding traction properly.

    Here is the big one. When you see a flash, don't get excited. The needle is in but the catheter probably isn't. Advance a little more. Remember: the needle is longer than the catheter.

    If youre missing them, see part one.

    If you're blowing them, skip to part 2.


    And for a bonus, start distal (hand) and work up. Save the AC for last ditch, trauma, and adenosine.
