Do you aspirate?

[Kachunga]

I disagree 100% and would also say this poll does not reflect reality at all. 70+% of people not aspirate in the real world. Also many Doctors and Nurses do not aspirate and it does not seem to be a problem. Once again we have something that looks scary on paper but in reality the odds are beyond tiny that anything bad could ever happen.

What is a much bigger concern is what you are injecting into your body, most people have no idea. Very few of us have legitimate prescriptions and the many who do not are at risk every shot.

I agree with you. I have done hundreds of injections, my training partners have done hundreds of injections and NEVER had any problem. If people here want peace of mind then go ahead and aspirate. But don't tell me there are going to be "dire consequences" if I choose not to.

my cousins wife is a head nurse in the operating theatre.
in all her career as a nurse she has never aspirated when injecting a patient.
i freaked when she told me.
when i said how important it was she just laughed and said she has never seen anyone in her hospital aspirate before injecting a patient.

I can guarantee you that an MD or RN injecting the gear we inject would definitely aspirate.

There are many innocuous anti-biotic and medicines provided at your MD’s office, but not gear.

They would aspirate what we inject and the quantities we inject.

If you inject into an artery, who knows, but if you inject in to a major vein,

Gear could go to and put your heart into fibulation , and possible arrest.

Fortunately the muscles don’t have LARGE veins, so it is very difficult to actually inject directly into a large vein headed for the heart. something that would almost have do be done almost intentionally.

Great point on the innocuius meds provided that makes the aspirating not nessacery.

For all you naysayers that think what solidspine has wrote here regarding gear and what could happen to your heart is just bullshit, go ahead and prove us all wrong and mainline 2 or 3 cc's and then get back to us on the outcome. Any takers?

I always aspirate, you never know what can happen even if you have done it a thousand times.My wife is an RN and every MD or other nurses always do it. There really is no reason not to except for "STUPIDITY".

I know it can't be good, but what happens exactly if you don't asp and do hit a vein in the glute? How far, say in milimeters, do you have to pull back the syringe plunger to aspirate thoroughly?

If you pull back on the plunger and do not see anything, then you are fine. If you were in a vein you would know immeaditely, the pressure from your veins will force the blood into your syringe. As soon as you pull back if your in a vein, blood will rush into the syringe.

nah, i actually try to hit a vein. i enjoy passing out and breaking needles in my ass. it gives me a good rush. i like russian roulette too. with a pistol. like in the deer hunter.

when i see blood in the cap, i get all excited and can't wait to push it all through in one quick swipe. i love the taste i get in my mouth....i can't wait to die either with my head in the bottom of a toilet, pin hanging out my ass with oil dripping out

"look how bright i am, mom"

I always aspirate.

Also, just this past cycle I hit a vein, like week 6. It was a glute shot, I was using a 1.5" 21ga. My girlfriend does my shots for me, she put the pin in aspirated and got blood. She freaked, I told her to relax and just pull the needle out. The syringe now had about 3 drops of blood in it. I didn't think it was wise to inject the gear and the blood. So, I just unloaded the syringe down the drain and fixed another one up. Then shot it in the other glute without a problem.

You never know.
