I love it lol, could have used this on some patients had last few nights, though not just for IO access ;)

A hoax obviously...

It's for sure 2 microphone holders and perhaps a microphone(?) and a needle someone grabbed out of their unit. I'm having trouble deciphering what the main object is.

Dude you killed it!

I am so tempted to make something like this and pull it on that obnoxious pt.

Hey, I'm here to help you. Stop being nasty. I have this tool....(pulls out forehead IO) that sticks a needle in you forehead and sucks the obnoxious part of your brain right out.

well, to make this more serious ....why don't we use EZ-IO's to create Burr holes in the event of increased ICP?? (I put that in a homework assignment once, as a joke, obviously). ~s~

But heck, when the apocalypse comes, you might need to treppan some burr holes w/ an IO needle!

In the apocalypse, you can use a DeWalt with a long 1/2" bit. Ends the suffering faster.
