Answer 1

I once got sick when on vacation. (Diarrhea, vomiting.) Part of the treatment at the Dr office was a fluid IV. But…. the Dr and the nurse were not careful and I could see bubbles in the tube. I pointed it out to them and they flicked the tube and messed with it a bit and still had bubbles. They didn’t offer to do anything different. (There were like…. three.) I said….. “That’s OK, I don’t need the IV. Can you remove it, please?” and noped out of there.
