The Greatest of Illusions
Basic Physics state all intramuscular injections likely go intravascular to a degree or another!
In this brief article, you will find an explanation of why all intramuscular go IV to some extent. I’ll explain a century old mistake that the entire medical and pharmaceutical community makes, and why the “Aspiration Technique” was never the panacea the medical community thought it was during decades.
In the past two days, I have been fighting two vicious battles: a plumbing one with a broken kitchen sink drain pipe; and another one with a group of French résistants on Twitter-X convinced inadvertent intravascular injection isn’t real or material, and casually and condescendingly dismissing the “Bolus Theory”.
(If you are new to the Bolus Theory, I gave a full debrief video with Dr Haider right before Xmas)
Frankly, I prefer fighting with that old tired pipe, even if it’s slimy and filthy, because at least it doesn’t get personal and doesn’t low blows.
So, yesterday evening, I was on my knees, trying to see what I can do to fix this mess, and, out of the blue, I found a plumbing analogy to explain why almost all intramuscular injection go intravascular (IV)…
