Ultrasound guided peripheral IV on splitting psych pt

"Ow! You're in my nerve!"
"That's not your nerve."
"Don't talk to me that way! Get the hell out of my room! Go away! I'm mad!"

20 minutes later:

"I'm sorry I was so upset."
"That's fine. Can another doctor get the IV"
"Of course."

Happy ending with a RUE IV after a failed, infiltrated attempt on the LUE with ultrasound.
