MAGA Misinfo. The Great Negotiator, our Dear Leader, has been working tirelessly to secure the best possible deal for us, so much so that his hands are battered and bruised.

It’s probably a blown IV site from either fluids or medication.

Is there a reason they might not put it in his arm? It would be easier to hide.

u/pmusetteb Feb 25 '25
If they can’t find a vein in the arm, they’ll use the hand. I know this because I was in the hospital last year and I got stuck a lot. I even had one with four ports in my neck for antibiotics.

I hope someone breaks his hand shaking it the next time he tries to do his handshake power play.

He probably gets dehydrated, I don’t know if he drinks water, but I think if you drink Diet Coke all the time you definitely going to be dehydrated.

Macron has a track record for trying to crush trump's tiny fingers.

u/BoneHugsHominy Feb 25 '25
He does, because during their very first meeting Trump tried his Alpha Shake bullshit so after that Macron just crushed his hand.

u/dancin-weasel Feb 26 '25
lol. I’m not a huge Trudeau fan but one of my favorite moments was during trumps first term, Donnie tried his gorilla “pull you in” handshake and Justin shut it down and got right up in his face, smiling. ☺️

I'm a nurse. That's 99.9% most likely from a blown IV. He's old as shit and this is what happens.

u/AbominableSnowPickle Feb 26 '25
AEMT here, looks like that to me as well. I wouldn't be surprised if he's on blood thinners too.

If you were a nun you would say it's 99.9% from Musk rapping his knuckles with a ruler for falling asleep when Musk was leading the cabinet meeting as leader of the authoritarian world.
If you were a hammer it would 99.9% be because of nails.

Now I understand that AI video of the bearded hula dancers on the Gaza beach.
Trump has been imagining pleasuring dead cross dressing Palestinians all this time.

u/dubiety13 Feb 25 '25
Riiiiight. It’s definitely not from IV adderall or whatever other crap he takes to pretend to function.
But can we talk about the fact that it’s not just a bruise…IT’S A BRUISE COVERED IN MAKEUP?

Bullshit. That is a common occurrence in old people. I remember noticing my MIL had terrible bruises on her hands and soon realized it happened frequently for no apparent reason. Then I started noticing it on other elderly people, and thought “I hope it doesn’t happen to me when I get old.” I’m old now — and yup, it happens to me. Old, thin, dry skin — Granny hands.

I've heard every thing Trump touches dies, maybe the key is to send him some suggestive photos of a young Ivanka, hoping it causes him to touch himself.

I think it's starting stigmata from sacrificing himself so much.

Soon MAGA will be wearing gold pendants fashioned after the above photo, replacing their Christian crosses. Some, I assume, will have stigmata on both hands.

u/Reddit_Username200 Feb 25 '25
Well it can’t possibly be from giving himself a handshake downstairs because there’s nothing there, soooo drugs?

Maybe an IV (most likely), or he's stumbling and falling because he's a decrepit old man.

He slipped and fell in the toilet and slammed his hand against the bowl.
Well it could have happened that way!

u/ThereGoesChickenJane Feb 26 '25
It's because he's old. My dad gets bloodwork all the time and has bruises like this. Absolutely from a needle, probably an IV because I've never heard of drawing blood from someone's hand.

u/AbominableSnowPickle Feb 26 '25
The back of the hand isn't always the first choice of location for an IV or standard venipuncture, but it's usually the second.
*sticking people with needles regularly is part of my job
1
u/ThereGoesChickenJane Feb 26 '25
My dad often has IVs in his hand because it's impossible to find veins in his arm, apparently.
But I think for drawing blood they go with the crook of the elbow, right? I've never had it drawn from anywhere else.
2
u/AbominableSnowPickle Feb 26 '25
The back of the hand is really common, not just because the veins in the AC (antecubital fassa, the fancy medical term for "elbow pit") aren't cooperating. It can be for comfort and ease of access too. The skin on the back of the hand is thinner and blood vessels are closer to the surface, which makes it much easier. Smaller "butterfly" needles work really well for drawing blood, though it can take a bit longer to draw because the diameter of the needle and tubing are smaller. I like them because you have "wings" to hold onto and the length of the needle is shorter, so I have more control and it can be more comfortable for the patient. I pretty much only do IVs (and IOs) these days, I pull blood when starting one though. The ER likes to have the main tubes for bloodwork ready to go to the lab when we arrive with patients.
Bodies are weird, and veins can be extremely so. It's always good to have alternate IV and venipuncture sites in mind in case things are less than ideal. I hope that helped and made sense, I have the flu and am not very smart today :)

u/ThereGoesChickenJane Feb 27 '25
Thank you for the explanation!
I am an OT student so don't have any training in IVs or anything but I'm learning anatomy and all the body systems and I find it fascinating to learn about what other medical professionals do.

u/AbominableSnowPickle Feb 27 '25 edited Feb 27 '25
I'm so glad to help! I started in healthcare as a phlebotomist and I've been in EMS for 10 years now (I'm an AEMT, we're a lesser known middle level between EMT and paramedic, and can perform some of the more advanced stuff).
OT is awesome, and you folks are awesome (PT and OT were lifesavers after spinal surgery)! There are so many moving parts int how medicine works, it's just really cool. A lot of people don't realize how many options there are beyond "doctor or nurse." Hope everything goes well with you class! With an attitude like that, you'll do great :)

Senile purpura. It’s very common and benign but is definitely exacerbated by anticoagulants.
