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.
