The cannula they fitted on Friday started to leak and they needed to fit a new one as I am on intravenous antibiotics. Six people later including 2 doctors and a mass of holes all over both hands and arms - no success! The fact I hadn’t eaten for a week and only sipped water had caused my veins to go flat. At 10 pm last night Super Cannula man arrived. He came in and on his first try -success! Wow he really knows his job! Thankfully it meant I could go back on fluids and the intravenous antibiotics. As you can see he bandaged my arm to make sure the cannula didn’t move!
I am told that normally they don’t see doctors on Saturday and Sunday only in an emergency! The chance of seeing anyone during a doctors strike are nil I think! It’s going to be a long weekend!
Madness and mayhem and strikes too, boo. Shouldn't be allowed. Thank the Lord for Super Cannula Man! Continuing to wish you well and hope they do a good job of looking after you.
The "Super Cannula man" is obviously skilled at what he does and so fortunate for you. In my area, one cannot even get a proper BP. I take my own BP and give it to the doctor.
what a terrible time you are having. Thank God for 'Super Cannula Man'
