Almost happened to my mom. Home nurse came to house to give my mom an a IV with B vitamins. She told us it would take 10 hours but she wasn't staying or coming back to remove it. So she wanted to give a quick demo on how to "properly remove it" Fortunately, IMO she wasn't able to find a vein even though she tried 6 times. My mom said enough please leave and we would find someone else. Apparently she was the only "qualified" person that did home IV's. I feel sorry for the future patients. Yes, I've brought this up to the doctor and mentioned it to our current doctor who was not happy that occured.
I've seen something close to this story. Except the hospital allegedly left a line in when he was discharged. (Not a small human), and it was hidden on the under side of his arm.

@@Picachki i used to be a home infusion RN. Patients require home infusions for many different reasons and many different medical conditions - daily to weekly to monthly . I remember one time i was so swamped one day i was finishing up a patients treatment, cleaning up, said my normal patient education then "okay, any questions before i leave?" the patient said " yeah, are you going to take the IV out now?" lol very very rare but i suppose it can happen where you leave it in. Usually the patients know that you left a dog on uncomfortable tube inside them and they say something before you leave.
Sometimes, actually most of the time people can't help it when they're not coherent and calm. Some people aren't used to being sick or injured and when they are in such a state they panic. Some conditions will not give a person a choice about their state of mind, like a diabetic having a crash.

I once had a call from someone who lived literally around the corner of a small hospital kinda place who had been discharged from there but they forgot to take out the IV. Soo he didn't know what to do and called an ambulance. We aren't allowed to take out an IV. We called the hospital like "Hey there's this guy here, can you remove his IV? We'll be there in like a minute." "No that's not our problem, please bring him to " ffs... Luckily the guy then "tripped" in a way that just so happened to pull the IV out so all we had to do was treat a wound, which we are very much allowed to do, so we didn't need to drive him around for an hour to do something that takes like half a minute at worst...
Ya, ya, ya that's what they all say... I've heard that exact same excuse for the countless people who've shown up at the Hospital with a random object that got "accidentally" lodged up their butt. 😅

Worst story I ever heard was from an ER nurse who admitted a patient from the ambulance who got an F350 gear shifter stuck in her hoohoo. Husband had a manual transmission on his truck with a long shifter. He put a custom head on it that was a rubber cylinder with little nubby bits on it for grip. Wife thought it looked "pleasurable" so she got hubby to help her mount it. Her feet slipped in the throes of passion and it impaled her insides. The entire gear shifter had to be removed from the truck at the transmission, which was no easy feat with a lady perched on top of it. She was wheeled into the ER face down, covered in a sheet, with a seriously questionable protrusion sticking up from her backside. That guy had the best stories.
As an Austrian, all I can say is: this man absolutely rocks the Lederhosen. Proper socks with it too, except I personally wouldn't wear that shirt with Lederhosen, and would go with a more traditional shirt.
I grew up in a Biergarten and there were two types of people who wore Lederhosen: the hardcore snooty traditionalists who invested heavily in their authentic pieces (I’m talking with the correct embroidery for their work/social standing and accessories and everything), and the Spirit Halloween costumers who only showed up during O(c)toberfest and didn’t come back till next year because they forgot how weird that curry wurst and saurkraut smells coming back up lol. Sometimes you’d get someone who fell in between, such as standard Lederhosen with a lederhosen t-shirt underneath combo, and usually those guys were chads. Everyone was real nice once they were drunk and willing to spend frivolously on games and souvenirs though lol. I loved living on the grounds during festival seasons. I actually miss painting faces on the shit-faced guests in particular because you just _knew_ they’d laugh when they saw the adorable pig mask smeared all over the next morning when they woke up…. then the slight horror that would hit them when they realized they’d spent $25 on it because they accidentally tipped that 12 year old $15 😂
A nurse once got a needle stuck in me and could no longer pull it out. She called another nurse for help and she also started struggling. At some point there were 4/5 nurses panicking around me, trying to get the needle out of me. Until they finally called the doctor. He did it instantly, no idea why the nurses struggled. Plus he was in a great mood, which was witty to child me.
Not nurses but mlts for me So many times have i gone to get blood drawn for tests and had the technicians shove the syringe needle in me and pump in and out like they were pumping air into the bicycle tyre because they couldn't get enough blood. Cue painful blood clots for the next two weeks.
@@everythingissalad2969 As someone who runs those tests, it's bad for us too. Usually it results in a lot of red blood cells getting shredded, hemolysis it's called, and it interferes in annoying ways with several blood tests.
If the nurses were struggling… that was quite likely an anesthesiologist who came in to help out. Many years ago, my toddler was in the ER and the doctor had ordered an IV. One nurse tried. Couldn’t get it. Another nurse tried. Couldn’t get it. Called the anesthesiologist …. He walks in and “plink” gets it first try like it was child’s play.
@@tanya5322 A lot of paramedics can get a line in in the ER when the nurses can’t because of being accustomed to field conditions. They used to really laugh at me because I would often turn the room or cubicle lights off and use my penlight held in my mouth (or do it entirely by feel) because I was so unaccustomed to having so *much* light.
My mother is a retired ER nurse. One of the strange stories she was involved with, a man called 911 claiming a snake went up his butt while sitting on the can. Brought him to the ER, did the x-ray and found nothing. He had mental issues. Now that he didn't have a snake up his rectum, they gave him over to the mental hospital.
Probably schizophrenia/schizo-affective disorder. Symptoms include vivid audio, visual, olefactory and tactile hallucinations that feel so real the person cannot tell they're not reality.
His thoughts were probably confused and he may have meant that he felt a 'snake-like' movement, spasm, parasitic infection, or something similar. The human brain truly is amazing. I hope he is well now.
Thank you for explaining-I was having trouble following what was happening. I don’t understand why the EMT left-if I was the guy with the IV I wouldn’t trust the nurse
i once got sent home from hospital with the IV drip still in my arm…to be fair i didn’t notice either until i got home. mom’s a dr so we got it taken out easily. got a call 24 hours later from a very panicked ward clerk 😂
Nice, I've almost left my neuros infusion center with one a couple times. I absolutely wouldn't go back though, I'd just get it out myself, I've seen enough I know how (100+ IVs in 7 years). Plus my partner is a former EMT.
My husband got discharged with an IV still in his arm. He had a concussion, was in overnight, and was still a bit disoriented so he didn't think to let them know. He got home and we realized and I was like "we should go back to the hospital..." and he was like "nope" and ripped it out. Thankfully it was a nonevent
Hahaha, would make sense, he does drive me a little crazy XD He works for a shipping company and was unpacking a badly packed truck. Had a wheel (not a tire, the metal wheel) fall from the top of a stack onto his head. Stumbled out of the truck, said he didn't feel good, got to the bathroom to throw up, then passed out. He was lucky it wasn't worse!
I worked under a head nurse who bragged about not having read a book through college and she didn’t know how babies were made or how menstruation works…. I don’t get my medical care in my state due to all the… questionable people in the profession over here.
as long as you leave the patient with the next level of care, hes good to leave. im an off duty EMT and start CPR or hold C-Spine, i can only leave when a paramedic shows up. (Hills. County SOP)
Yup. I have a similar story. My mother is a home health care nurse, and one of her patients, we'll call her X, was looking for attention. X faked a medical incident to get attention from her visiting son, Y, except Y did the responsible thing when finding his mother on the floor, apparently non-responsive; he called 911. This was a day of my mother's scheduled visit, and she arrived about 5 minutes before the paramedics (the 911 call happened while she was en route) to find X in a full-blown panic-conniption, and Y completely confused. When the paramedics arrived, she stopped them outside the door, giving her credentials and telling them everything was under control. The paramedics replied with "This is an unusual situation, but technically you outrank us, so we have to defer to your evaluation of the scene," and left. Because of that my mom was able to prevent this from being reported as a "false" 911 call, something that has happened before with X. Let's just say that Munchausen Syndrome on top of having real medical issues is a hellava drug.
@janelliot5643 I was comparing them based on motive ("I'll play sick for attention"), and yes, Munchausen goes a step further, such as consuming unsafe amounts of laxative to trigger diarrhea and dehydration. True hypochondria is where the subject actually believes they are sick when they aren't. Ms. X is faking injuries/illness for attention without forcing symptoms. She doesn't believe she's sick; not Hypochondria. She's not forcing symptoms; not full Munchausen. So, perhaps "poseur Munchausen?"
Unless you were on blood thinners or had a blood clotting disorder you wouldn't really bleed all over. You just remove the tape and slide out the tube. There's no actual needle left so it would be hard to actually damage your vein without you purposefully trying to. (Which would also hurt in the moment so I don't see why somebody would). Some people when you take the iv out don't even leak a little bit if it's old enough. A basic bandage and sometimes a min of light pressure if your veins are healthy is all you need. We have confused people who rip them out of their arms all the time. Sometimes in their sleep, so you don't even find out until you go to give their medicine and there's a small puddle of blood in the bed. So even removing it quite violently usually only leads to a small amount of blood loss before it clots on its own.
@@jessicaolson490Genuinely curious: why can’t EMTs etc remove them then? Is it just for liability because an open vein is involved? Have they just not been trained? Are they actually allowed to do it and I’ve heard wrong? 😅
What would happen if you did that? You gonna die from it? Seems like something a bandaid or gauze and tape would fix to an outsider to medical stuff like me.
@@MrClaystanothing would happen 😂 you’d bleed a little and put some pressure on it for a few minutes. I pulled out my own picc line (a iv catheter that goes straight to your heart) when I left the hospital AMA. Bled quite a bit but just applied pressure it was fine
RUclips really should have an analytic measure for how many times the same video is repeatedly watched over and over again. I bet Jason would hold some sort of record. 😂
The IVs that we place at our hospital can stay in for a week, I believe. But I think it can be different depending on the type of IV and hospital policy.
Not 100% sure but I think they can be left in for at least decent amount of time but my semi educated guess is that the body will see injury and try to heal it. You don’t necessarily want it healing with a tube Still penetrating your skin. Also infection might set, could generally just start having problems as your body immune system starts up? Like I said at best this is a semi educated guess. Based on my interest in medicine practice. And being a type one diabetic with a pump. Not exactly the same as an IV but pretty much similar purpose of an IV.
Local ibfection, sepsis and worse?... That's what can happen, when IV is for too long inn. But that too long is not a day. And, when the nurse gives IV to a patient at his home, he/she has no right to leave the patient alone for as long, as IV is inn, because, if anything goes wrong and the nurse isn't here to stop things from going very serious, then lawsuit is comming up, in the best case of scenario.
Idk, when I was in hospital I had one in for 5 days. The issues can arrive if they missed the vien and don't realize (which is an issue for me as I have quite narrow viens) and then your arm balloons up with the IV fluid. That said, the doctors told me that its not really that harmful and that the fluid will eventually disperse.
My Dad was a trained medic for the army during Vietnam (but was sent to Germany instead). As he got towards end of life........let's just say he a couple of times threatened to pull out everything, because he "knew how to do" then we all had to talk him out of it. Mind you. It had been 50 years since he had done anything like that. At least this guy didn't try it!
My Great Grandfather was in WW1 and he escaped his nursing home 3 times before his death by removing his IV's, catheter, EVERYTHING without damaging himself. Finally my family and his doctors felt he was better off at home. I vividly remember his screaming in Spanish "I'm old and blind not senile! Let me die at home in peace instead of strung up like a puppet waiting to die!" ....No one every tried to put him into a nursing home again.and he died peacefully in his sleep at 100.
I’ve TWICE realized AT HOME, after a hospital stay, that my IV was still in my arm… Forgotten by both myself as well as by the nurses.. (Usually the IV is disconnected a few days before I was discharged from the hospital, but they leave the IV needle in, in case they unexpectedly need it again in those last few days… and I then have rolled down my sleeves over it. And because the IV has been in there for at least a week or so, I don’t really feel it either…)
LOL you hiring? You're a producer and got a sitcom you need a main cast member for? It's not like being a plumber where you just walk to the union hall and sign up.
As a patient in the hospital I was being discharged. The nurse said she’d be right back to remove my i.v and get me on my way! Well, after 2 hours of sitting on the edge of the bed waiting and 2 call lights later and being told “ oh she’ll be right with you!” I went in the nearest empty nurses station got some gauze and tape went back to my room and took it out! I let the nurse clean up the blood that shot on the closet door !😂
I had a ride along. Here I am ER & Burn Unit RN with the EMT's. Patient told dispatch, "Diabetic episode." But what patient's actual problem was that Viagara "worked too well" and he was too embarrassed to take himself to the ER. Yes, we took him in to the ER. Then went to my office & LOL!!! Holding back the laughter was so hard! But we're professionals!
My Mom was sent home with one of those "accidentally" (she left AMA). I had to remove it. Truly wasn't a huge deal. Squirted a tiny bit of blood but I applied pressure and then after a bit, a bandage, and that was that.
Heehee, nice to see these videos in my feed again. The mischievousness we can get up to when we need EMTs are fantastically depicted in these fun little shorts. Also, Jason is such a sweetie.
When I worked in neurological rehab, sometimes new transfers would have a line or cannula in still. We were supposed to incident form it, report it etc. we’d just pull it and stick a small dressing on it. Professional courtesy.
I love watching these videos with my husband who’s an EMT:) I always ask him for extra context and if he’s experienced something like that before and it’s fun to hear his answers
So basically the equivalent of "forgot the stove on" for medical staff :'D. This content is gold and his acting is beyond on point! Thanks for the laughs!!
This happened to me when I was released from the hospital, gave my papers and everything and I was so drained I just threw my sweater on after that. But when I got my papers I was supposed to get the Iv needle removed and I was so drained I didn't realize they didn't remove it until I got home. I called a ambulance for it and they came but all they can do was give me the hospital tape and gaus cover the puncture
i literally walked out of the hospital with my IV still in, and the nurse who had put it in took it out so badly that the second i walked back out, my entire arm and shirt were wet with blood. truly the cherry on top of an already terrible ER visit
Me too bro I prayed for healing and forgiving me and others. And the lord answered by giving me a feeling to do this, do that, eat this, drink that, wash your hands, listen to elders and i feel healed.
A rare occasion where the person who called wasn’t the issue 😂😂😂

The entire gear shifter had to be removed from the truck at the transmission, which was no easy feat with a lady perched on top of it. She was wheeled into the ER face down, covered in a sheet, with a seriously questionable protrusion sticking up from her backside. That guy had the best stories.
"Let me stop you right there"
Aka what you don't tell me I can't testify too.
Yeah, F that! "Tell me everything from the start" would have been the proper response! 🥶
As an Austrian, all I can say is: this man absolutely rocks the Lederhosen. Proper socks with it too, except I personally wouldn't wear that shirt with Lederhosen, and would go with a more traditional shirt.
You know that you are scrolling too fast when you think, “Why is an Australian wearing lederhosen?”😜😂
Fatherland approved…for the most part. Nice.
The shirt is part of the joke. It’s a scrub top. He clearly either forgot to change when he left or only changed it when he was rushing back.
Yes, you ARE Austrian. :D
I grew up in a Biergarten and there were two types of people who wore Lederhosen: the hardcore snooty traditionalists who invested heavily in their authentic pieces (I’m talking with the correct embroidery for their work/social standing and accessories and everything), and the Spirit Halloween costumers who only showed up during O(c)toberfest and didn’t come back till next year because they forgot how weird that curry wurst and saurkraut smells coming back up lol. Sometimes you’d get someone who fell in between, such as standard Lederhosen with a lederhosen t-shirt underneath combo, and usually those guys were chads. Everyone was real nice once they were drunk and willing to spend frivolously on games and souvenirs though lol.
I loved living on the grounds during festival seasons. I actually miss painting faces on the shit-faced guests in particular because you just _knew_ they’d laugh when they saw the adorable pig mask smeared all over the next morning when they woke up…. then the slight horror that would hit them when they realized they’d spent $25 on it because they accidentally tipped that 12 year old $15 😂
A nurse once got a needle stuck in me and could no longer pull it out.
She called another nurse for help and she also started struggling.
At some point there were 4/5 nurses panicking around me, trying to get the needle out of me.
Until they finally called the doctor.
He did it instantly, no idea why the nurses struggled.
Plus he was in a great mood, which was witty to child me.
Not nurses but mlts for me
So many times have i gone to get blood drawn for tests and had the technicians shove the syringe needle in me and pump in and out like they were pumping air into the bicycle tyre because they couldn't get enough blood.
Cue painful blood clots for the next two weeks.
@@everythingissalad2969 As someone who runs those tests, it's bad for us too. Usually it results in a lot of red blood cells getting shredded, hemolysis it's called, and it interferes in annoying ways with several blood tests.
If the nurses were struggling… that was quite likely an anesthesiologist who came in to help out.
Many years ago, my toddler was in the ER and the doctor had ordered an IV. One nurse tried. Couldn’t get it. Another nurse tried. Couldn’t get it.
Called the anesthesiologist …. He walks in and “plink” gets it first try like it was child’s play.
@@everythingissalad2969 Yikes, blood clots are extremely dangerous.
@@tanya5322 A lot of paramedics can get a line in in the ER when the nurses can’t because of being accustomed to field conditions. They used to really laugh at me because I would often turn the room or cubicle lights off and use my penlight held in my mouth (or do it entirely by feel) because I was so unaccustomed to having so *much* light.
My mother is a retired ER nurse. One of the strange stories she was involved with, a man called 911 claiming a snake went up his butt while sitting on the can. Brought him to the ER, did the x-ray and found nothing. He had mental issues. Now that he didn't have a snake up his rectum, they gave him over to the mental hospital.
Plot twist: He had a tapeworm
To be fair, that's not an uncommon fear in Arizona.
Probably schizophrenia/schizo-affective disorder. Symptoms include vivid audio, visual, olefactory and tactile hallucinations that feel so real the person cannot tell they're not reality.
His thoughts were probably confused and he may have meant that he felt a 'snake-like' movement, spasm, parasitic infection, or something similar.
The human brain truly is amazing. I hope he is well now.
a poorly fabricated comment to compliment a poorly fabricated video. youtube really is the bottom of the barrel
Bro literally just said "later, hosen".
as a Canadian, this one took me entirely by surprise in the best way possible
No no no that's "later, hoser".
Dad Joke confirmed. Unless OP is female, then Mom Joke confirmed. Not sure what to call other identities.
@indigodarkwolf a(p)parent joke, is what you call it for other identities 😜

That nurse would be in so much trouble for forgetting to take an iv drip out of the patient arm cause they were in a rush to get to a halloween party
Thank you for explaining-I was having trouble following what was happening. I don’t understand why the EMT left-if I was the guy with the IV I wouldn’t trust the nurse
@@glitterbeardwizard5171 the less he hears the less he has to be involved in paperwork
i thought it was some weird fetish thing or am i just weird
Lemme stop you right there, *I'M FUCKING OUT*
i once got sent home from hospital with the IV drip still in my arm…to be fair i didn’t notice either until i got home. mom’s a dr so we got it taken out easily. got a call 24 hours later from a very panicked ward clerk 😂
Nice, I've almost left my neuros infusion center with one a couple times. I absolutely wouldn't go back though, I'd just get it out myself, I've seen enough I know how (100+ IVs in 7 years). Plus my partner is a former EMT.
My husband got discharged with an IV still in his arm. He had a concussion, was in overnight, and was still a bit disoriented so he didn't think to let them know. He got home and we realized and I was like "we should go back to the hospital..." and he was like "nope" and ripped it out. Thankfully it was a nonevent
He ripped it out? I can see why you gave him the concussion in the first place. 😜😂
Hahaha, would make sense, he does drive me a little crazy XD
He works for a shipping company and was unpacking a badly packed truck. Had a wheel (not a tire, the metal wheel) fall from the top of a stack onto his head. Stumbled out of the truck, said he didn't feel good, got to the bathroom to throw up, then passed out. He was lucky it wasn't worse!
@@Shridra - 😮!! Glad he’s still with us.
Concussion, great old sedative.
Just behind of being knocked out cold with a mallet
Same thing happened to my friend when I was picking them up from the hospital. Also just ripped it out 🤦🏻♀️
Not my monkey, not my circus.
- The paramedic, probably.
Paramedic: I’m the ringmaster!
The amount of calls I've had dealing with brain dead nurses is enough to cause nightmares.
thank you lol i like when people admit not all nurses are perfect and know what theyre doing
I worked under a head nurse who bragged about not having read a book through college and she didn’t know how babies were made or how menstruation works…. I don’t get my medical care in my state due to all the… questionable people in the profession over here.
@@toyyatoy I'll bet she could quote 1 book really selectively though...
It's awful how bad burnout is in Nursing these days. My dad is a charge nurse and has to deal with them every day
read this as seductively. confused but still guessed correctly @@alidee5448
The comment section always helps me understand the nuances.😅 Thanks, team.
I cannot imagine the emotional response that must've happened when it turned out that the patient was telling the truth
The fact that they asked if he started the IV on himself first.....then, RN be gone. 😂😅
as long as you leave the patient with the next level of care, hes good to leave. im an off duty EMT and start CPR or hold C-Spine, i can only leave when a paramedic shows up. (Hills. County SOP)
Yup. I have a similar story. My mother is a home health care nurse, and one of her patients, we'll call her X, was looking for attention. X faked a medical incident to get attention from her visiting son, Y, except Y did the responsible thing when finding his mother on the floor, apparently non-responsive; he called 911. This was a day of my mother's scheduled visit, and she arrived about 5 minutes before the paramedics (the 911 call happened while she was en route) to find X in a full-blown panic-conniption, and Y completely confused. When the paramedics arrived, she stopped them outside the door, giving her credentials and telling them everything was under control. The paramedics replied with "This is an unusual situation, but technically you outrank us, so we have to defer to your evaluation of the scene," and left. Because of that my mom was able to prevent this from being reported as a "false" 911 call, something that has happened before with X. Let's just say that Munchausen Syndrome on top of having real medical issues is a hellava drug.
@@andrewdreasler428 I've heard horror stories. and if you think that's bad, munchausen by proxy is a thing.
@@andrewdreasler428that's just simple hypochondria, not munchausen's
@janelliot5643 I was comparing them based on motive ("I'll play sick for attention"), and yes, Munchausen goes a step further, such as consuming unsafe amounts of laxative to trigger diarrhea and dehydration.
True hypochondria is where the subject actually believes they are sick when they aren't.
Ms. X is faking injuries/illness for attention without forcing symptoms.
She doesn't believe she's sick; not Hypochondria.
She's not forcing symptoms; not full Munchausen.
So, perhaps "poseur Munchausen?"
@@janelliot5643 no it's Munchausens, hypochondriacs think they are sick/injured/etc, people with Munchausens fake it.
The number of times we had to send the cops and EMS to go track down someone who eloped with their IV in...
I love it that when a patient escapes, it's called eloping. So romantic ❤
When I was an RN at a major level 4 trauma hospital it was crazy how many times I saw that happen too!
At least the guy was smart enough to call rather than pulling it out, then calling while he's bleeding all over.
Unless you were on blood thinners or had a blood clotting disorder you wouldn't really bleed all over. You just remove the tape and slide out the tube. There's no actual needle left so it would be hard to actually damage your vein without you purposefully trying to. (Which would also hurt in the moment so I don't see why somebody would). Some people when you take the iv out don't even leak a little bit if it's old enough. A basic bandage and sometimes a min of light pressure if your veins are healthy is all you need. We have confused people who rip them out of their arms all the time. Sometimes in their sleep, so you don't even find out until you go to give their medicine and there's a small puddle of blood in the bed. So even removing it quite violently usually only leads to a small amount of blood loss before it clots on its own.
@@jessicaolson490Genuinely curious: why can’t EMTs etc remove them then? Is it just for liability because an open vein is involved? Have they just not been trained? Are they actually allowed to do it and I’ve heard wrong? 😅
Hey, at least he thought better than just gripping it and ripping it like a pull start.
Don't even joke about that, when it happens It always results in a bad time for everyone involved.
I just involuntarily winced, good show
What would happen if you did that? You gonna die from it? Seems like something a bandaid or gauze and tape would fix to an outsider to medical stuff like me.
@@MrClaystanothing would happen 😂 you’d bleed a little and put some pressure on it for a few minutes. I pulled out my own picc line (a iv catheter that goes straight to your heart) when I left the hospital AMA. Bled quite a bit but just applied pressure it was fine
I love these videos!! Not only entertaining, but they help me feel better when i feel like im a stupid being 😆
"Intravenous Inquiry." I think we have a possible new game show there.
Along with a new sitcom called "Nurse In Lederhosen."
💜💖
RUclips really should have an analytic measure for how many times the same video is repeatedly watched over and over again. I bet Jason would hold some sort of record. 😂
The way my heart would stop if the paramedic would just smile and walk away 💀
To be fair he wasn’t in a medical emergency.
Wanted no part of that lawsuit
Starting my EMT internship today! Watching your videos have honestly made me want to do this job even more!
Congrats! You'll be adding your own.
Good luck with it!
Man I bet that nurse got the telling off of a lifetime for that mistake, also what happens if an IV is left in for too long, im genuinely curious.
The IVs that we place at our hospital can stay in for a week, I believe. But I think it can be different depending on the type of IV and hospital policy.
Not 100% sure but I think they can be left in for at least decent amount of time but my semi educated guess is that the body will see injury and try to heal it. You don’t necessarily want it healing with a tube Still penetrating your skin. Also infection might set, could generally just start having problems as your body immune system starts up?
Like I said at best this is a semi educated guess. Based on my interest in medicine practice. And being a type one diabetic with a pump. Not exactly the same as an IV but pretty much similar purpose of an IV.
At my hospital, it’s 48 hours and then the site has to be changed to another vein.
Local ibfection, sepsis and worse?... That's what can happen, when IV is for too long inn. But that too long is not a day. And, when the nurse gives IV to a patient at his home, he/she has no right to leave the patient alone for as long, as IV is inn, because, if anything goes wrong and the nurse isn't here to stop things from going very serious, then lawsuit is comming up, in the best case of scenario.
Idk, when I was in hospital I had one in for 5 days. The issues can arrive if they missed the vien and don't realize (which is an issue for me as I have quite narrow viens) and then your arm balloons up with the IV fluid. That said, the doctors told me that its not really that harmful and that the fluid will eventually disperse.
Omg Jason in lederhosen has me dying!
My Dad was a trained medic for the army during Vietnam (but was sent to Germany instead). As he got towards end of life........let's just say he a couple of times threatened to pull out everything, because he "knew how to do" then we all had to talk him out of it. Mind you. It had been 50 years since he had done anything like that. At least this guy didn't try it!
My Great Grandfather was in WW1 and he escaped his nursing home 3 times before his death by removing his IV's, catheter, EVERYTHING without damaging himself.
Finally my family and his doctors felt he was better off at home.
I vividly remember his screaming in Spanish "I'm old and blind not senile! Let me die at home in peace instead of strung up like a puppet waiting to die!"
....No one every tried to put him into a nursing home again.and he died peacefully in his sleep at 100.
I’ve TWICE realized AT HOME, after a hospital stay, that my IV was still in my arm…
Forgotten by both myself as well as by the nurses..
(Usually the IV is disconnected a few days before I was discharged from the hospital, but they leave the IV needle in, in case they unexpectedly need it again in those last few days… and I then have rolled down my sleeves over it. And because the IV has been in there for at least a week or so, I don’t really feel it either…)
Bros paramedic life is a sitcom
I think you should become an actor. You have a lot of potential
LOL you hiring? You're a producer and got a sitcom you need a main cast member for? It's not like being a plumber where you just walk to the union hall and sign up.
Omg 😂

@@ssl3546 chill bruh
We have to see more of the ginger kid!! Funniest shut ever. You do a great job re enacting these situations. Your amazing!
you're* ftfy dont have to thank me :)
I worked at a hospital before. Nurses forgot to take the IV out of a patient and she came back and said she didn't even notice until she got home
I have so many questions that I don’t know where to start.
My only question is: Why is this a big deal?
I wonder what his reaction was when he saw the ambulance outside
I was stuck in the er room with my grandma for her all day long and your videos saved my sanity from the beeping.
"Stop talking before you say something i need to take time to testify you said"
As a patient in the hospital I was being discharged. The nurse said she’d be right back to remove my i.v and get me on my way! Well, after 2 hours of sitting on the edge of the bed waiting and 2 call lights later and being told “ oh she’ll be right with you!” I went in the nearest empty nurses station got some gauze and tape went back to my room and took it out!
I let the nurse clean up the blood that shot on the closet door !😂
I had a ride along. Here I am ER & Burn Unit RN with the EMT's. Patient told dispatch, "Diabetic episode." But what patient's actual problem was that Viagara "worked too well" and he was too embarrassed to take himself to the ER. Yes, we took him in to the ER. Then went to my office & LOL!!! Holding back the laughter was so hard! But we're professionals!
My Mom was sent home with one of those "accidentally" (she left AMA). I had to remove it. Truly wasn't a huge deal. Squirted a tiny bit of blood but I applied pressure and then after a bit, a bandage, and that was that.
Heehee, nice to see these videos in my feed again. The mischievousness we can get up to when we need EMTs are fantastically depicted in these fun little shorts. Also, Jason is such a sweetie.
Ngl, Jason is good in lederhosen!
I love that he just happens to have Lederhosen on hand for this skit!
That's another one for the "Where are they now?" series.
I doubt it’s that interesting
@@DeltaEntropy I'd want to know.... specifically.. what the heck did he need to go to a halloween party for!?!?
HE JUST LEFT! (The emotion behind that line.) Lmao
When I worked in neurological rehab, sometimes new transfers would have a line or cannula in still. We were supposed to incident form it, report it etc. we’d just pull it and stick a small dressing on it. Professional courtesy.
DONT LEAVE!!
I really want to hear the full story of this!
It's always a "nurse"
Hit em with the old “No Patient Found”
"no medical need" also works.
You have seen some THINGS
"Let me stop you there"
"Okay, sir have a great day!" famous last words..
The paramedic was like "This is out of my scope and I want no part of it."
Kudos to this man for either buying or borrowing lederhosen just for a video less than a minute long
Paramedics need to be calmest people in world change my min d
And firefighters too.
EMT: Nope! I do not want to be liable for this.
I love watching these videos with my husband who’s an EMT:) I always ask him for extra context and if he’s experienced something like that before and it’s fun to hear his answers
God I hope Jason gives us an update on this one
Oh Heidi, you are soooo fired 🤣
I like how they're always in bed, tucked in and you have to go all the way to the master bedroom to speak to them.
So basically the equivalent of "forgot the stove on" for medical staff :'D. This content is gold and his acting is beyond on point! Thanks for the laughs!!
When are you going to post another Where are they know Video They were super funny.
Alternatively
"Who did your IV?"
"A former nurse"
"Former?"
"Well, he's about to be"
You, my good sir, are by far the absolute best channel on RUclips.
Good Day.
"Micheal! Don't leave me here! MICHEAL!"
Was that a real nurse? I can’t tell. 🤔
No.
Definitely real Lederhosen.
Halloween parties are more valuable than patients lives, obviously
Good on him for not removing it on his own
I love how he just tapped out and left when the nurse came back
"sir have a great day" as he walks away from doing something stupid
Finally a reasonable and non degenerate caller
Playing two characters is pretty hard. You do it very well
One of the most consistently great youtube channels I follow. You deserve great things, man!
"Hi"
EMT boutta nake Nagasaki look like marshmellows compared to what hes about to do to that nurse
The German “Lederhosen“ 😂👍really accurate
This happened to me when I was released from the hospital, gave my papers and everything and I was so drained I just threw my sweater on after that. But when I got my papers I was supposed to get the Iv needle removed and I was so drained I didn't realize they didn't remove it until I got home. I called a ambulance for it and they came but all they can do was give me the hospital tape and gaus cover the puncture
That's all you really do when pulling an IV anyway.
These videos always bring a smile to my face. 😂
i literally walked out of the hospital with my IV still in, and the nurse who had put it in took it out so badly that the second i walked back out, my entire arm and shirt were wet with blood. truly the cherry on top of an already terrible ER visit
Me too bro
I prayed for healing and forgiving me and others.
And the lord answered by giving me a feeling to do this, do that, eat this, drink that, wash your hands, listen to elders and i feel healed.
The funny occasion, where wearing Halloween costume was so funny🫠
Reminds me of when the hospital failed to remove all my stitches. Didn’t notice till I got home and had to remove the last 1-2 myself.
You need to do a television series! I'd watch every episode! You'd do awesome! 😂
Not me rewaching this entire video ten hours later cuz its just so funny
"and then he just left." That face..😅
