I wasn't going to say anything until the fifth time it happened

Dear Inception fandom,

Here are some things that can be put into a human vein:

- cannulae

Trocar needles are used as insertion vehicles for cannulae, yes, and then they are immediately removed and put into a sharps bin or something.

Here are some thing that DO NOT REMAIN IN A VEIN:

- needles, Jesus Christ (do you want all your characters to wake up with massive haematomas?? NO YOU DON'T)
- SYRINGES

Repeat after me, fandom: you do not slide a syringe into your vein. Or anyone else's vein. The anatomical logistics of that are completely fucking baffling.

Okay then.

I'm glad we've sorted that out.

lol GUILTY. it's some thing that pokes and then you bleed! idk!


Though now that I've looked at the wiki page for IVs, I am retroactively fucking terrified. Jesus. Tiny shallow veins ftw.
