Having ileal conduit after radical cystectomy: What to expect?

@141emp most of us are in situations requiring an IV. As a former phlebotomist, I put myself thru 4 years of professional school as a part time job. I know veins. Either request someone who knows what they are doing or ultrasound. Do not be bashful for the consequences of "trying" is not acceptable.

@sperio , lol, no one will ever say I’m bashful on this subject prior to a procedure or in the ED🤣. I do worry about infection though with port access outside of my treatment center and normal Keytruda treatments. I know it’s combination of my very small veins and past chemo and then in some cases, medical professionals who are not as experienced in difficult sticks as others, so I’m very firm and escalate if necessary. I just will not accept anyone “learning” on me anymore.
