Do you aspirate?

[advanced-stealth]

I do most of the time.

Injecting without aspirating is like driving without putting on your seatbelt. Tons of people never do it, but the few people affected by it wish they would've taken the 2 seconds to do it. Depends how safe you want to be with your body and how lazy you are. Ask yourself this... Is there a reason to aspirate? Answer: YES. Reason not to aspirate: NO. You decide its your body

[exxex]

I talked with a couple guys who never aspirate when they shoot into their glutes. A doctor friend told me they're playing roulette, but after hundreds of injections they say they've never hit a vein.

So far I haven't hit a vein and when I aspirate I get bubbles.

Do you aspirate every time? How often do you hit a vein? Most often on the thigh, glute...?

See . . the thing about my injections is that i aim for the vein

I feel that it's less of roulette and more of a competition with doing it this way.

What kind of question is that? Everyone knows it's a necessary safety precaution - it looks like you your trying to cut corners when it comes to a serious health risk. Not smart.

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?

Most likelty nothing will happen. The chance of something happenning is so slim but lets say your in that slim and you inject 3 ccs of something that is not designed for IV use. You become very very sick/septic, maybe anaphylaxis. Who knows. I know nurses that have given meds that are secified not for IV use and nothing happenned.
