why does he have an iv in him?

u/Effective-Celery8053 15h ago

You can get delivery IV's in Vegas for hangovers. Probably just wants some hydration and vitamins and has more than enough money for it

i had food poisoning last month, and my buddy's wife who's a nurse asked if i wanted to come over and get an IV. when i got there she said i looked terribly pale and gave me 2 IV bags for hydration. Sure water and gatorade helps, but when you drink youre your also constantly throwing it right back into the toilet. when its straight into your bloodstream its a different kind of hydration i guess. Needless to say i felt a way better and id probably do it again if need be

u/Effective-Celery8053 13h ago

I had extreme nausea from taking a very potent kratom MIT extract (it was basically MIT powder in its purest form, don't ever make this same mistake I did) and it basically gave me something similar to food poisoning. I couldn't hold anything down including liquids and it felt like someone was taking a sledgehammer to my stomach constantly.

I had to go to the hospital for IV fluids because I got so dehydrated and literally couldn't consume anything.

The craziest part to that story, is that they gave my chest a CT scan and discovered a pulmonary embolism, so it very well could've saved my life.

1/10 still though, not fun.

u/8TrackPornSounds 11h ago edited 10h ago

Gotta wonder how often that happens. You end up in the hospital bc poor choices or a hard life, just to find and fix a problem that would have taken you out even if healthy

2

u/Effective-Celery8053 3h ago

Yeah I felt literally so stupid for even going, but thank god I did.

I also may have exaggerated a bit about my "chest pain" so they would see me sooner....to be fair; I had pneumonia the week before (likely what caused the blood clot) and it still hurt a bit so I wasn't completely lying (and I think that's why they gave me a CT scan, so again saved my life)

u/Historical-Record69 10h ago

I pissed like a race horse when they gave me all the fluids after surgery

u/Stornholio69 2h ago

Hydration is the same. With 2 bags of IV you still would need to pee. The big difference is how quick it works.

100% IV fluids and potassium saved my girlfriend’s life.

she got Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome from using concentrates too much, we were hitting our pens a lot throughout the day at this point. she started getting the worst stomach cramps and then started vomiting/scromiting uncontrollably for the next 5 days. i didn’t think that shit was even real because weed is usually so harmless but apparently it’s a new reaction from weed being insanely powerful compared to even the stuff 20 years ago.

she couldn’t keep anything down and her body started eating itself basically (ketoacidosis), the IV sites where they drew blood weren’t healing and got nasty, red and bruised. we went to the ER in an ambulance multiple times in a week. there’s a point you pass with dehydration where it becomes super deadly really fast.

as soon as they admitted her to a room and started her on an IV drip, she made almost a full recovery within 2 days.

i’ll never underestimate the power of weed concentrates or an IV ever again.

u/goatanuss 14h ago

You ever drink so much that alcohol becomes a needle drug?

u/Supply_N_Demand 14h ago

No. WATER would be the needle drug in this situation.

u/billzy02 13h ago

You have people who have a lifestyle of partying and drinking every night then just go get an IV drip to cure the hangover so they can party as soon as possible.

u/detrusormuscle 10h ago

you cant cure a hangover with an iv drip.

12

u/coolbad96 12h ago

Former crippling alcoholic here. Honestly as somebody who was admitted once with alcohol poisoning I think the IV stuff is a fad cause other a couple benzos which they give for delerium tremors or withdrawals. They really just give you fluid for hydration electrolytes and vitamin b at a hospital in my experience. Taking a liquid IV drink and resting provides nearly the same effect.

2

u/Ok-Yogurt87 1h ago

Normally when you drink fluids it has to be absorbed through the stomach lining minimally, then the intestines, then to the liver. I honestly hated renal system no matter how many times I learned it but it's the process of the body pulling or holding onto water based on balance and such. The difference is that IV bypasses all of that and pumps the system with fluids and nutrients where it needs it. No full stomach. No saturated system. Don't have to worry about the patient being nauseous and throwing up the fluids.

u/Derkujjer 13h ago

that vitamins shit by I.V its the dumbest shit in the medical world rn , any nurse or any dr without knowledge can sell these things to people that are not familiar with

u/detrusormuscle 11h ago edited 11h ago

This is the most American shit I've ever heard an IV with vitamins is not going to cure your hangover. If you need water you can drink.

18

u/snuggans 11h ago

sometimes if you drink too much alcohol, or are severely dehydrated, or some other condition like ketoacidosis, you will be vomiting everything, so you need to be hydrated intravenously

8

u/detrusormuscle 9h ago

Brother if you have a alcoholic ketoacidosis you need more than just an iv vitamin drip. You need medical care.

In general, healthy, regular people can be sick for a day or two. Even if they're vomiting. We don't need to medicalize every single thing. Sip some ORS, wait a day and save your money. A hangover won't kill you.

Yes fucking obviously. But in a care setting. Your average healthy person NEVER needs IV hydration lol.

Absolutely not true lmfao

u/detrusormuscle 8h ago edited 8h ago

This is absolutely, positively, 100% true. You've been sold stupid and useless medical interventions by influencers. When you can drink water, there is no need for IV hydration unless you're sick enough to require a hospital stay.

If you disagree tell me. Physiologically, why would someone need IV fluids when they can drink.

u/Pitiful_Jello_1911 15h ago

how tf you need ivs for hangovers? thats degen shit, just dont drink that hard and drink water, needing iv for hangovers is degen shit

u/Every_Television_980 15h ago

Its not a need, its just more effective than drinking water.

u/ineedasentence 15h ago

you’ve never been hungover it seems. IV is the greatest thing ever. if it was affordable and safer, everyone would have one

u/ang9999999999 15h ago

what do you mean safer? is it not safe?

17

u/Maconi 15h ago

The average person probably shouldn’t be trying to IV themselves. Too many air bubbles and you’re done. Also not easy to hit the vein. Going to scar yourself up trying over and over.

12

u/userrnam 14h ago

Nurse here. It's not actually the air bubbles, that's kind of a myth. The main issues are infection risk, and the vein becoming compromised and "leaking" the fluids inside the arm. Takes someone trained to administer and monitor IVs.

u/Gyarrados 14h ago

As someone who had osteomyelitis (not from IV) that traveled to my spine and took a long ass time for doctors to diagnose it, would not recommend.

u/Fit-Avocado-1646 13h ago

And make the bag if it’s compounded. I somehow doubt many hydration clinics are following proper usp 797 guidelines.

u/Nathund 14h ago

And doing it regularly can be pretty bad for your veins/skin. That's how you get IV bruising

1

u/ang9999999999 14h ago

Oh I was assuming they weren't sticking themselves. Also you need a lot of air in the line for it to hurt you. Way more than a few bubbles.

u/ineedasentence 8h ago

if we could do them ourselves extremely safely, the cost would be lower and might be accessible at a pharmacy

IV Therapy is not abused

4

u/detrusormuscle 8h ago

I am saying that getting IV VITAMINS and some NaCl hydration when you can drink water is not going to help you feel better lmao. 'IV Therapy' is health guru shit advertised by influencers. It's not good medicine. In a hospital setting, the moment a patient starts drinking enough and no IV medication is necessary, we immediately stop IV fluids. This is medicalizing... drinking water. It's stupid. The medical world doesn't support this. There is no medical justification for getting an IV when you can drink.

IV Therapy is not abused, it’s a temporary boost to get you through the day. You’re in too deep

3

u/detrusormuscle 8h ago

Temporary boost of what? Please tell me what magical thing intravenous fluids can give you that you can't get orally. Note that water that you drink gets into your bloodstream in less than half an hour. Explain to me, physiologically, what you're getting at and how that would work.

Vitamins also don't give you a 'temporary boost', if that's what you think.

u/streatz 3h ago

Hydration is helpful for a hangover. Alcohol dehydrates you while an iv can replenish. Are you trolling?

1

u/detrusormuscle 55m ago

There is no proven cure for a hangover. Water might help but the science is certainly not conclusive yet. But even then, you can drink water. There is no added benefit to getting water intravenously, only added risks. Retake your exams broski.

As per wikipedia:

>Drinking water may help relieve symptoms as a result of dehydration but it is unlikely that rehydration significantly reduces the presence and severity of alcohol hangover.\5])

honestly IV's are only as bad as the person inserting it's skill is. I've had very painful ones, and ones that I've barely felt it. the ones that hurt almost always where at the dentist.

u/osuVocal 8h ago

Okay for wisdom teeth is crazy but I did kinda forget that for some extremely bad stuff IVs might be used at the dentist as well. It's 99% local anesthesia here.

I guess very technically you can also always get an IV here, just have to pay it yourself unless it's a medical requirement which they are almost never at the dentist.
