    Ok, now I understand the question.
    Yes the temporary pacemaker was put in the internal jugular vein.
    Sorry for the confusion on my end.

     
    That's what I thought.   It either goes in the IJ or the femoral vein in the groin.

     
    I once got a shot of morphine down there. Was a little concerned where they were gonna stick me until they did. Oh boy did that work quickly. Good stuff.

     
    Never heard of one getting a morphine shot in that area before.  I think I might know why now that I'm thinking about it. 

    When I worked in the EP lab I got growing access for all the doctors and would have their sheaths already inserted for them.

    Re: Pacemaker installed!

    Speaking of RPM getting shot, well, in this case "a shot"... one of the many times I visited him in the hospital during his brief but very active LEO career something memorable happened. I'm not sure, but I think this was after the motor accident - he slid 300' down the freeway. Many injuries - broke two ribs, punctured a lung, broke a collarbone in two places, wore his helmet through to fabric, the visor cutting across his face, massive abrasions - other stuff. Maybe that was when he got his morphine shot, IDK...
    I hardly recognized him he was so disfigured from the injuries and swelling. Kinda looked like the scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz. 
    Now that I think about it, could have been another time - anyway, he had a drain in his chest cavity, poked in through a couple of ribs. I think it was due to the collapsed lung - hell, I don't know. Doc comes in and without any warning, yanks it hard removing it in one big motion. Bub turned from pale to near dead looking - pallid? Must have hurt like a mofo but he was stoic. Kinda made me sick just seeing it happen. 
    Fun stuff being out there tryin' to protect and serve.

    Oh boy, ya there was a bunch of pain involved in those incidents. And after each one I never thought twice about going back to work. Wasn't brave, just too dumb to know better.
