Way back when, I was an EMT running with Fire when we went on a 17 year old female heroin OD. Her veins were trashed from years of IV drug use and the fire medic couldn't get a line. He stuck her 3 or 4 times. SHe was groggy and said "Ouch, give me that!" Grabbed the IV cath and without even looking stuck it right in. The medic said "Nobody say a f##king word!" And of course we didn't. It just happened to make the next issue of the fire dept news letter.
