>>13525457It's pretty fucking common, especially with nurses in training, and yes medical institutions routinely allow inexperienced nurses to administer injections under the supervision of a more experienced nurse. It's literally part of training. But even experienced nurses make these sort of mistakes. I myself have hit patients veins at least 3 or 4 times and I have been working for 7 years since 2014. Its not like a daily occurence, but its common enough that any nurse or anyone who works around nurses has surely seen it.
I mean, do you realize that hospital routinely have problems with obese cons00mers who are so fat you can't hit their veins? Sort of the opposite of what we're talking about, but it does illustrate how proper injection technique can be difficult, regardless of whether you are trying to hit a vein or a muscle. You often end up hitting the opposite of what you are aiming for. The fact that you think that accidentally hitting a vein is statistically comparable to getting struck by lighting is completely retarded and shows that you are talkimg out of your ass. Any hospital probably has literally dozens of incidents of missed injection every single year, and its generally not a big deal or an issue. If a medication is dangerous to administer via IV, it makes perfect sense to be extra careful with IM administration, since there is legitimately a relatively high risk of missing a shot. Like i said, ive probably given a few hundred different shots in my career, but probably less than a 1000. Given that I know for a fact that I've missed on 3 or 4 occasion, that gives me >0.3% of improperly administeringan injection. Not super high, but not something I'd want to take chances on.
Just to be clear, I already had the vax, but the idea that faulty administration is uncommon is simply not true.
