I know you're not stabbing the pen through the membrane but I've always argued that it could be done in a pinch. Here's the truth!

Is MacGyver now a Dr?

Of course it can be done. They taught the BIC pen method in my CLS course in the 80s

As a medic, you can do just about anything you want on your next to last day. Cric with a pen? Sure! Defib with a car battery? You betcha!

Of course, on your last day, you'll be cleaning out your locker and probably seeking legal representation.
