Author: RN [Edit] Date Posted: 21:58:19 01/29/09 Thu 4.8 million units of penicillin in the hip of a 18 year old female whose husband gave her an STD after he returned from deployment. The doctor insisted that she get 2.4 in each hip. She was terrifed when I told her she wouls be getting both shots. She laid on the table and raised up her skirt and pulled down her panties. As i uncapped the first needle she saw the 18g needle and started to cry. I had to squeeze her hip just to make sure the needle would not hit her bone. I actually considered giving her 4 shots with less amount of fluid. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Nurses Whats the Most Painful Shot You've Ever Given? Author: Ginger (retired RN) [Edit] Date Posted: 17:50:36 03/30/09 Mon Not done anymore, but in the 70s and 80s, rabies shots were still given in the stomach. I had to give injections to a 16 year old girl bitten by a stray cat, and she had to be restrained as the needle was pushed into her abdomen near her navel, and the thick serum injected. She foughht to keep from being given the shots, had to be held down and screamed every time her abdomen was pierced by the needle.She was given 21 abdominal injections as her treatment. Rabies shots were no fun for anyone, patient or those giving the shots. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: Nurses Whats the Most Painful Shot You've Ever Given? Author: Ginger (retired RN) [Edit] Date Posted: 16:27:59 03/31/09 Tue Frank, I don't know how old you are, but to let you know, at least, here in the states the treatment of rabies shots is now a five or six shot series over about a month period of time. The shots are no longer given in the abdomen. They are given in the arm, buttock or hip. The story I related was in an ER and there were two other nurses and her Mother. You need to understand that when she realized that these needles, rather long, were going into her stomach, she became terribly frightened which is very understandable. At first she was restrained because once the shot was started and as painful as it was, we didn't want her thrashing about. That would have been dangerous. Her reaction was just that. And when there were 20 more of these to be given, every time we got her into the ER and saw her, it was a fight to get her on the table, lift her clothing up, lower her underwear slightly, to expose her abdomen and hold her tight as the injection was given.

Author: to ginger RN [Edit] Date Posted: 02:33:49 04/01/09 Wed I know that yrs ago rabie shots were givin just the way you said, My question is why the dr,s did not numb that area before they gave those shots, you know just like they do now if you have to get stiches, Also since the rabie shots were givin in the abdomen, what internal organ were they trying to inject, and why? In fact i had rabie shots a few yrs ago, i think it was 5 in the arm over a month and a half period, at the first vist i got 4 RIG in the butt and 1 in the arm, it was no big deal, my butt was a bit sore for about 2 hrs after the shots and it went away quick, it felt sort of like lower back pain,, the only thing i was concerned about as the medication for the butt shots it looked like a lot of small air bubbles in the syringes, the stuff looked like 10w 30 motor oil.

[> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Nurses Whats the Most Painful Shot You've Ever Given? Author: Robert [Edit] Date Posted: 19:10:45 04/03/09 Fri The other day I had a 22 girl who was brought in by her boyfriend and she bitten on the fingers by a stray cat. They tried to find the cat for like 2-3 days. A friend told her she needed to go to the doctor to get checked out. She told the doctor that she was trying to catch the cat to give it a home and when she went to pick it up it ran off. They put fooid and milk out, but it never returned. The doctor explained the risks of rabies and hearing that if she did get rabies it could kill her she opted for the shots. The dose is usually given half in the bite site and half in the butt. Then you get a shot in the arm over a period of time 3-4. No longer in the stomach. i decided to give her the injection in the arm first. She said that wasn't bad. Then I drew up 3cc in 2 syringes and she said was it that going? I said in your butt. It is a very thick med so I placed an 18g 1.5 inch needle on each. She lowered her jeans and panties. She screamed out as each needle went into her bottom. I felt sorry for her. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Author: RN [Edit] Date Posted: 11:28:45 04/06/09 Mon Yesterday I had this very cute 23 year old present to our urgent care clinic. Her tonsils were swollen and she had a temp of 103.5. The doctor ordered 2.4 of LA bicillin and 8 mg of decadron and 8mg of Zofran. I came back in with four syringes as i decided to give her the penicillin in 2 doses. She laid down on the exam table. I flipped up her skirt and discovered she was not wearing any panties underneath. She had a round little butt that was very firm. I gave her 2 shots in each of her butt cheeks. She jumped each time I hit her cheek with the needle. She laid there holding her bottom in her hands. I massaged her firm cheeks after I applied bandaids to the four sites. I commented how firm her bottom was and she said she works out five days a week. She was limping when she walked out. I know her butt hurt like hell for the next day or two.

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Nurses Whats the Most Painful Shot You've Ever Given? Author: leo [Edit] Date Posted: 16:36:11 04/06/09 Mon Another fantasy post. How come there are no stories involving a 45 year old or a fat 61 year old, only "cute" 23 year olds or under. What real nurse would comment about a "round little butt." And these stories always involve massaging their cheeks, etc. Can we get some real stories, instead of fantasy injections for a fever that do not even exist anymore. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Nurses Whats the Most Painful Shot You've Ever Given? Author: RN [Edit] Date Posted: 18:07:51 04/06/09 Mon Well Leo I stories about shots that I give. I try to describe what their butt looks like, how they reacted, etc. I do massage their butt to get the medication absorbed into their muscle. Sorry your disappointed. True story.

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Nurses Whats the Most Painful Shot You've Ever Given? Author: RN [Edit] Date Posted: 18:19:32 04/06/09 Mon Leo just for you. The other day I did have this woman who weighed in excess of 300 pounds and I had to give her a steroid shot. I used an 18g 2 inch needle because her butt cheek was so big. I buried the needle all the way in and had to make sure it went deep enough to get it into her muscle. Not a pretty site with all the adipose tissue. Those kind of shots are not any fun. Most of the time those people have all kinds of sores on their ass cheeks. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Shots are not supposed to be fun for anyone. If they are you are either not a nurse (most likely) or should not be one. The fact that older, overweight people may not be a pretty sight, lends to your fantasizing about younger, better looking people. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: Nurses Whats the Most Painful Shot You've Ever Given? Author: Richard [Edit] Date Posted: 14:56:05 04/07/09 Tue Some time ago I read an article about women who were having difficulty absorbing medications injected into their buttocks because of their buttocks' size. These apparently were women who had large bottoms and the depth of the needle's insertion was not getting the medication to where it was supposed to go. And with respect to Ginger's post, I had the same treatment she spoke of. I don't remember being swabbed with anything that would dull the pain of those injections. If I remember correctly, these injections, given deeply went into muscles around the lower stomach. I could be mistaken, but I know this much-getting the old "Pasteur" treatment was certainly a dreaded and very painful ordeal I know a little about needles, and 18 gg was not the norm. The needles, to inject the serum were large bore. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: Nurses Whats the Most Painful Shot You've Ever Given? Author: Richard [Edit] Date Posted: 12:17:38 04/29/09 Wed I had rabies shots in my stomach. No cameras or TV crew to take pictures or film it. I did, some years back see a news report about a rabies outbreak in one of the Southern states, where a film crew was on hand and filmed a 14 or 15 y/o girl on an exam table with her blouse lifted up, her abdomen exposed and then a nurse injecting the anti-rabies serum. What surprised me was as the needle went in this girl didn't make a sound or flinch, but she said when talked to by the news crew that she'd never pet an animal again. Unfortunately that had to be back in the 70s or possibly the 80s. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: Nurses Whats the Most Painful Shot You've Ever Given? Author: Richard [Edit] Date Posted: 16:08:27 04/29/09 Wed Mike- Go to CUREZONE and under vaccination (images) there are four very grainy B&Ws of someone, can't say if it's a male or female receiving what appears to be rabies injections. Two of them are clearly in this person's stomach. One shows a nurse I suspect, placing the needle into the vile of serum, then another of her just above the patient's stomach with the needle. The other two are in the stomach shots. I clicked on them, but much detail is lost when enlarged. Let me know if you find them or any other visuals, film or stills of this procedure, OK?

[> Subject: Re: Nurses Whats the Most Painful Shot You've Ever Given? Author: MW [Edit] Date Posted: 01:14:54 06/01/09 Mon The most painful inejction I have given a patient was a drug called, "PARALDAHYDE". The drug would balance the Iron levels and rid the body of lactic acidosis due to alcoholism. The patients would start to hallucinate and this drug was commonly used back in the 70's, but no longer. The odor it would give was rancid, and you could smell it on the patients breath, when they sweat, and in their urine. The drug was v-e-r-y painful to give. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
