I have a question for doctors or people with knowledge about a cat scan procedure?

Question

Today I want to a hospital in my city to get a cat scan because my doctor had me do a urine test and there was a surprising amount of blood on the urine. He then said for me to go do a cat scan to see if there are kidney stones in my kidney. So I went into the cat scan room then the doctor hooked up a needle to a vein on my arm, no problem there, then after he did the first scan the needle platic thingy had a (valve like thing) it was Y shaped. Anyways all of a sudden it starts spraying whatever was passing through it which i think was the medicine. Then the hole in my arm from the needle started bleeding. So than the doctor went to my left arm and did the same procedure. The same thing happened so he had to press the needle so the medicine would go in... After all the thing worked but the doctor said in the 25 years hes being doing that, this has never happened to a patient of his. I wanted to know if anyone knows the cause of anything if i should worry?

Answer 1

were you dehydrated?

Sometimes, your veins get weak when you havnt had enough to drink.

I've had veins to blow having the contrast put in my arms for the MRI's and Cat scans.

I have kidney stones and also, I had a brain tumor. I have been thru my share of scans. After a while, my veins were weak from having so much blood taken. But they blown because I've been sick and dehydrated too...

I hope this helps and I hope your stones pass with surgery...
