OK, it's getting bad. I'm watching 48 hrs. They show a close up of the detective writing a note on his pad. My first thought? 'What a nice vein!'. I could get an 18 gauge in that one, no prob.

Good Grief... :wacky:

Amateur. Everyone gets an 18 at least ;)

I do it! I love to look at good veins! Although sometimes I think it's more satisfying to have to search a little bit :)

I'd get a chest decompression needle in, so there!

Me TOO!

Me too! I fiddle with my husband's wrist and arm veins absentmindedly until he gets irritated and tells me to quit.

Going for the antecubital vein is my preferable location...:)

Haha, same here. I watched Thor: The Dark World recently, and in the scene where the actor Chris Hemsworth was washing his arms , all I could think was "Dang, those VEINS!"
