ok? :?:
might've been a 5/8 pin...if you're asking if that's big enough to be IM, it is...
sorry to hear about the rusty nail though...i'm sure that was fun.
hurt like a bitch
the shot itself is painless..
however from what I remember the next day or so I was in SO MUCH PAIN!!
yup the next day my shoulder was so tight..... the nail hurt bad

I give tetnus 3 or 4 times a week in the ER. I use a 25 5/5" pin. It's much more comfortable for the patient and since the general population doesn't have deltoid mass there's less chance of hitting bone by going too deep. Yes I have hit bone more times than I can count.
hahahahaa i cant wait to go back to the doc, ill be like hey give me that god**** thing and quit pussing around!" hahahahaQuote:
