May I ask what sort of medication you are getting that is injected into the vein? I ask, because really you should have an RN for this. It is a medical procedure in which access is given that could cause septicemia if wrongly done. This is normally done only for certain medications such as chemos, and etc. Often a port is placed.
I think that you should contact the prescribing doctor who will guide you to in home providers for this specialized procedure. Would love more info if you can provide it, but if for privacy or other reasons you do not wish to that's fine. Just contact your doctor with this question, and again, this should be an RN or a specialist LVN trained as phlebotomist, etc.
