My question is, what the hell was she thinking? She has done this ten time before without any problems, why now? Ok, thats not really the question. If air was injected and I didnt have a caughing fit that means the air bubble is sitting IM and will be absorbed by the body? Is there a chance it did make it into a vein without me knowing? Could I keel over at work today due to an embolisim?
I am not really worried about this happening, just curious on worst case senarios...
