Hi Bob,

I can see the wrist - sort of, but you are still talking several mm to
an artery, as far as other parts of the arm - I can't see it.  Veins
maybe, arteries, nah.  Veins are much more likely to be close to the
surface, which makes sense.

I don't ahve mnost of my bee books where I am at the moment - how long
is a bees stinger?

Absolutely - many things that are innocuous given IM or SC can be
devastating if given IV or in an artery.  The vast majortiy of the time
such a mishap occurs, the material will be deposited in a vein.

This is important as materials deposited in an artery must go to a
capillary bed before being diluted in the general circulation, and this
can have serious implications.  There are a number of medications that
are given IV, that should never be given in an artery.  The tissue
damage downstream from the ijection can be tremendous.

Yes sir.  What livestock other than bees to you maintain?
