This is from AM

Do I really need to aspirate?
Those who inject without aspirating are taking unnecessary chances. Sweating, nausea, dizziness, severe coughing, breathing difficulties, anaphylactic shock, coma or death can all result from not aspirating. Most of the time, steroid users experience dizziness and coughing fits when they inject into a blood vessel. But you need to be aware of the dangers of neglecting this simple technique that should take about 3-5 seconds of your time.

Always aspirate.

9 times out of 10 the shit they are injecting you with is water based and probably not a risk if they shot you IV....I have a friend that ends up in the ER almost every week with tension and migraine headaches. She gets shots of Moraphine either given IM or the nurse will inject it IV if she has an IV put into a vein already.

they do it, you just don't notice. I watched last year when I got a flu shor, she aspirated and then pushed without pause, they don't do it like we do, which is to pull back, look at the bubbles then push, the just pull, then push, they've done it 1,000's of times so they're fast.
