16 Gauge??

[Mark4124]

You think we are tough with our 21-23g pins? Well, it is certainly more than a flu shot, but it is not the worst you can experiance. I do not know what they use for spinals and all that, but I did go to an American Red Cross Blood drive this summer. They stuck me in that vein in the middle of your arm that they always love to take blood from. It was a huge needle. Ever since I have been juicing and get blood drawn or get a shot I ask them what gauge they are using. They probably just think I am a herion user or something, but at any rate ... THE RED CROSS USES 16 GAUGE PINS TO EXTRACT BLOOD!! Hurts like hell, but I suppose it moves the blood fast.

Yeah, those fuckers are thick. Makes me a bit nervous just looking at how big they are and are going straight into an exposed vein.

 

[2Thick]

Yes, but the 16g are not going into your muscle. Only through your skin and then in a vein.

Back in the day, all I had access to was 18guage for injections... Damn, that sucked!!

 

[vanillagorilla]

Kinda shys you away from giving blood huh.

I just hope that the guy that will receive your blood is not an athlete that get tested!

LOL

Yeah, my mom was like: "don't you think it is unethical to give blood if you are on roids?" My response: "They are lucky, its free juice!"

good point

 

[liftsiron]

That's not a needle, that's a shot gun. They use them big bitches for IV's to.

Yes, but the 16g are not going into your muscle. Only through your skin and then in a vein.

Damn! 16 guage can't be much smaller than the vein though! They'd better give you a hell of a cookie and a gallon of juice (orange) for putting up with that shit!

 

[Squats]

Probably need a suture to close the freekin hole!!!! LOL!!

 

[Corleone]

Yeah, my mom was like: "don't you think it is unethical to give blood if you are on roids?" My response: "They are lucky, its free juice!"

LMAO!

 

[Jeff_rys]

nice but there is no need to use a 16 g

They can draw blood with a thinner needle.
So once again this is a stupid thing to do.

My grandpa was on dialysis for four years (he has since passe RIP grandpa). They used 15g and 14g needles for that. Let me tell you that I could not do that three days a week; I thought it was bad enough having to watch (I used to drive him there and pick him up). Those of us not on dialysis should really count our blessings too, because those 14g (some people actually requested them so dialysis would go faster) look like you could fit an 18g inside the fucker (to give an idea of how big they are for those who have never seen a 15 or 14g needle) .
