Good for you both!
I had a central line and an arterial line put it the same day, maybe week three of my NSICU stay. I was already looking like a Mac truck had ran me over and they both hurt. Dr. Walker who was putting in the central line did give me more drugs since I could feel the catheter. When my wonderful Med Student EB was putting in the arterial line, I literally begged her to stop. The doctor who was teaching and I’d never met, said he’d do it on the left wrist and I gave him a cussing worthy of any sailor and some of my previous clients, when he inserted the needle. Everyone in the room started clapping as it was the first time I cursed using a whole lot of bad words. That night the RN Ben, had the PA check the arterial line because it felt like the needle was still in, that nitwit pressed down on it and made it hurt much more. Ben wasn’t happy and before shift change, he got a Doctor to get it out. Apparently it wasn’t placed correctly. I ended up with two lumps, one on each wrist but they went away. As always, if it’s concerning you, reach out to your medical team.
