Obviously he's turning into a zombie.
What do you mean โturningโ? I thought that happened several years ago?

Too many zoom calls.
I see what you did there.
Maybe "zoom call" is going to become an euphemism in the same way that "netflix and chill" has.
Or "Santorum."

Blood draws and IVs would not be done on a thumb. Those look like steri-strips on his right hand. And the bruising seems to end in a similar location on his fingers.
Hmmm. It's a mysterie.
You'd be surprised with some of the places I've stuck a needle into.

Yup. I've started IVs in a thumb - lots of times.
I even started one in a forehead IN AN ADULT.

Was it because they pissed you off or was it some kind of anesthesiologist prank/dare?

We were doing a portacaval shunt (a procedure done for cirrhosis). Surgeon got into some serious bleeding, and, because the patient's arms were tucked at his sides, I had no access for giving more blood in a hurry. I had the patient in a head-down position, and there was this big, fat juicy vein standing out on his forehead....
