IV Fun

People do not often start off dates by being poked with IV needles. But we did! We had bumped into Kristi at a basketball game, well, we sat behind her would be more accurate. She wondered if we would be willing to let her practice her IV skills on us. Now, it isn't like she is unskilled in IVs, she is just brushing up on her skills with a different kind of IV. It sounded like we might be able to help a future patient down the road by bearing our arms for her, so we showed up today at the Seben's home.

We both took turns, Wes being more brave got more pokes. It was fun to see Kristi's excitement over what she was doing. She sure does love poking people - little tip for all you blog readers out there. Be prepared for noises of delight coming from Kristi if you ever volunteer to be subjected to her skills. :)

One especially fun thing was that Kristi offered for Wes to give it a try. For an aspiring para medic and an EMT it was too good of an offer to pass up. If you ask me, he did fabulous for his first try. The needle went right in. It was pretty fun to see him "in action".

Two medical gooroos, both looking pretty happy and content.
