Reblog from 1/5/13 – Picc Lines and Central Lines are obviously not preferably but I know for me and countless others they can make or break a hospital stay. If you or anyone you know is a current patient in the hospital, or is a person who requires frequent hospitalizations you will be doing yourself and your loved one a HUGE favor by asking if this is right for you. It may not be and then you move on. But if it is (and they usually aren’t given lightly), I guarantee you it will save you or your loved one from a tremendous amount of unnecessary suffering as well as open the door for other treatment options if at all appropriate.
