#and yet so bad at doing the same to the jugular vein with an ultrasound

[ley-med]

Spending the better half of nightshift with a severely injured patient, not sitting down even for a moment, no time to drink, no time to pee, whatever it's fine. Only to reach my breaking point at around hour 5 when inserting a jugular central vein line and accidentally cannulating the carotis...

It was okay in the end, I threw a minor fit, then put on my big boy panties and inserted a subclavian central vein line without effort, then got to eat my cold leftover pasta two hours later when surgery finally ended. But not gonna lie, it hit me a bit harder than it should have
