A member asked:

They could not find my vein to hook me up to the iv when i got diabetes so they put it in the back of my head. is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Find a vein: It is unusual for professionals providing medical care, to be unable to find a vein for an iv. When necessary, alternate veins such as the jugular vein are used.
