Standard medical procedure, and it is not very crippling. There are worse places you can stick needles :mrgreen:

Yeah, like the crook of an elbow, bloody hell that was painful. And bloody.
Actually I just realised any time I've ever been in hospital with an IV there's been an issue getting the things out.

Elbows seem to be preferred for blood samples, but it is probably damned inconvenient having an IV line there. You would not be able to bend the elbow joint.

I had been in a small lab accident with a corrosive material over heavy gloves. The best veins they could find without risking damage to my hands was near the elbow. Doctors usually love my hands for IVs, the veins are great apparently. Only had the thing in there for an hour or so, so it wasn't that bad.

You know, you guys are making the "AI companion" idea sound more and more like the way Jeph's going to go with Faye...
Omega Entity:
I had an IV -and- the EKG monitor lines on my left elbow (this was pre-finger light monitor thing), and would set off my alarms if I bent my arm at all.
Which sucked, because I was a side sleeper who preferred her right side.

Hmmm... Well, Faye and May *do* rhyme. They seem to "fit" each others' personalities. May is on parole. Perhaps watching over Faye would count as "paid community service." It would be interesting, but it'd have to be done carefully so not to distract from the whole situation.
