craigslist ad:
i need someone who can give me regular iv's
i would like to do vitamins and hydration bi-weekly through iv. i hate needles and would like someone who could make it painless i can purchase the solutions and parts if i can be told what is needed. i do not drink or use drug just wanting to be healthier and feel better faster.
compensation: send quote, i can pay with each visit cash.

what's the phone number?
Heh heh. I found it under the Medical Job section of Craigslist. I was thinking of flagging it, it sounds slightly, er, suspicious...

I wouldn't be shocked if the person placing the ad is an IV drug user who wants quick and easy access via a hep lock or PICC line. With ready IV access, the person no longer needs to consume twenty minutes attempting to find a suitable vein.
I flagged the ad. I doubt if it's legal for any healthcare worker to start IVs without a legitimate Dr's order.
Yep, he wants to
feel better faster
I called him and I start tomorrow
