I could have saved myself a lot of misery last time if I had known how to safely remove an IV from my arm. (was forcibly medicated while screaming that I did not consent) Can you just pull it out without a risk of getting air in your veins or something like that?

I almost felt bad there for a second laughing in agreement.

But to clarify, they started the plain IV beforehand. I was a very last minute UC transfer and out of my mind in transition. They stuck the pit in it moments after DD was pushed out, while DH was over with her and I was screaming to not let them do vit K hep B eye stuff because he forgot everything, and I didn't know they were suctioning her or I would have been telling him to make them stop that, too. I had a UAV OB between my legs yanking on my cord and then sticking his hands in every hole he could find, and bruising my labia and clit with clamps to get them out of the way for stitches that I did not even need. And I was pretty sure they were going to kill my baby and never give her to me. I just didn't have anything left in me to beat anyone up, sorry.
