i called a friend who has a friend who is a surgeon from algeria studying for the exams here to be licensed. she got on the phone and i said: i'm trying to get the cap off the iv needle so i can attach the iv bag. she says what? (think french accent with north african influences) i repeat. what? i say, i v, eye veeeeeeeee. oh, she says. iv. yes, i'm having trouble getting the cap off the end of the tube. i'm trying to give the dog an IV. she says, what?, they give dogs IV's here? _____________________________________________________ 2 am i must have fallen asleep when i hear a noise. before i can move, dog decides to get up with sudden energy and runs across the room to me. yanks out the iv line from the bag. iv fluid is running down the wall towards an electrical outlet from where i hung the bag after taking down a picture. i run to clean up the water. dog plops down returning to total lethargy. go to dog, move her to doggie pad. forgot i should have clamped iv line, so now blood is flowing out of her up ten feet of iv line. clamp iv. remove line. re cap the iv. inject solution to clean line. 7 am, drop dog off at vet for day of observation. lab results now normal. clinic still horible. doctor great and new best friend. has already accepted dinner invite. ----------------------------------- stay tuned.
