re: Shots In Stomach Now Standard Procedure If You Are Hospitalized?

I had to inject my wife twice a day durring her last pregnancy, because she had Preeclampsia.

And to think it all started with just one injection.

Real talk: Do they do this if you have an IV started and they have access? Some people here are saying this has been a thing for decades and I've NEVER had twice daily injections in my stomach or butt, but I've always had IV access in place any time I've been admitted. I've definitely been admitted for emergency trauma surgery where I wasn't getting out of bed for two weeks, too.

The nurses put the DVT preventative stockings on me, but I don't remember ever getting multiple daily shots in my fat.

I've always been admitted for surgeries, though, not medicine. Maybe blood thinners aren't a great idea if you're going to be bleeding? IANAD.
