Here's why, on a serious note since that is how you like things ( :wink: ), we put IV's and various other 'toys' in every orifice we can: When we get to the ER, if the Doc doesn't have an access point, it significantly reduces the chances of a positve outcome for the patient because now the ER staff has to start an IV and intubate (if necessary), and it just makes things less advantagous to the patient.
Administration of drugs IV is the key to ones's success during the 'Golden Hour" - enfield knows - if we can have IV's and intubation in place by the time they get to the ER, it increases the patient's chance of survival/minimal damage/etc. There IS a reason for us probing every opportunity we can, and it certainly is NOT because we want to inflict pain or are perverse. Believe me, there are some very nasty people out there :sick2:
However, I love starting IV's and I'm GREAT at it! In the event I would ever have the opportunity and pleasure to initiate emergency protocol on you, it would be my pleasure to start an IV and I would love nothing more then to insert a nasopharyngial airway in you :evil:
