Question

This happened on 05/7/14 and it is now the 11 my arm looks so bruised I'm embarrassed people stare like if I've been taking drugs I feel in fact that this nurse blew my veins in my right arm do I have a case because the pain I'm feeling they should feel as well

Answer

This happened 5 days ago? Give it time to heal. If it is a case of "extravasation", when the IV fluid goes into the tissue and not the blood vessel, you would have likely had a severe reaction (blistering, swelling and discoloration), and they most likely would have noticed it at the time. It's hard to miss.
