OF VEINS and CANNULAS.......

 It been over two years since I've completed my nursing training and since then I have worked in the ER or the Emergency room for over more than a year and after puncturing numerous veins over a span of two years and finally learning to put in cannula without puncturing the vein( though I do have a bad I V  days from time to time) I have developed a sort of morbid fascination with the hands and the veins that courses through them. Many a times if not mostly during a conversation with  I find my eyes wandering towards people's hands and wondering how easy or tough it might be to put in a cannula. Though for records sake the toughest ones are the infants and toddlers (And I have a personal rule of not more than two stabs for kids.) Well some people have large veins and some have barely visible vein some straight and some convoluted ...oh oh there I go again. :) ;)
