pretty cool stuff hey? Our kidneys (the urinary system) is so cool - if I were to go back to bedside nursing, I would pick urology because it is such an underestimated system

Miss 1.5 years ago While putting me on the IV drip, the air bubble went inside me about 1 feet, so then there was some problem, I thought that now there may be some problem in future.

[@NurseMinder]

If there were to be a problem, it would be immediate. The body will absorb the air. Rest your worries
