Dang, were they actually going into an artery there, or was it just a large opening or you were also on blood thinners or something?
I get an IV every month and they always use a vein, and any bleeding is just a tiny ooze. But I'm holed up for a matter of hours, not days+ as with a hospital stay.
This is a new image/meme for me and I like it. The hand gesture gives it a little bit of a "witches vs patriarchy" vibe too. I don't know if that means more or less coming from a random old cishet dude, lol.
