Gentlemen,

I ran across this question on another site. Thought I'd submit it here for your answers...

I work in an ER so these weird things interest me.

Have any of you guys ever had ischemia from your IM injections (intramusclular)? or have you ever injected into an artery/vein?

I suppose with the latter..you might be dead.

Some guy managed to inject some type of steriod into his femoral artery. Needless to say this caused occlusion and he died shortly after.

Where do you guys learn to inject from? I know it's not trial and error.

I always thought that it might be difficult to find a source to trust.
