To be honest, they now have nurses that can do blood gases (I always see a nurse when I go for my 4 monthly MOT)at one time it was always a doctor, who, in previous lives, were kicked out of the Gestapo for cruelty
. its the same with a venflon for intravenous treatment, the best at inserting these are paramedics, then nurses and if you've any sense you'll keep doctors well away from that task too they're bloody useless
