That sucker does yank slivers out! When I got out of the rig, the one in my left middle finger was at the surface, easy to get at. I thought they would get ripped out and go flying or something like that. Told the tech gal that they should make a machine shop version
I guess not knowing what to expect is the greatest fear. This was a big bore Siemens only 5' lg. that was quite roomy.
Never had blood work done before so they ran the full gambit. I was shocked when the nurse called and said everything was normal or darn near perfect, except potassium was a tad high. Said, I've been eating some killer tater salad all week, so she said to cut back on that a bit.
Overall, I was really pleased with the hospital staff. Their professionalism and the genuine care they displayed was outstanding. I botched the first X-Ray by moving, but explained to the tech guy I'm new to this.
