...brachial artery, which supplies the arm; the arm has plenty of blood supply and would not be crippled.

He thus reversed the normal course of the blood and made it flow backward.. In effect, he turned a vein into an artery; the heart's capillaries got a new supply of oxygenated blood fresh from the lungs (revascularization).

First he inserted a needle in the internal jugular vein (which drains the brain), another in an artery, usually the femoral artery in the thigh. Then he had them breathe a 15% concentration of nitrous oxide, a gas that is easily traced...

On March 4, one of the Commonwealth's snappy new "bloodmobiles" will roll up outside of Brooks House for two days of vein-tapping. The "bloodmobile" is a specially-constructed vehicle that goes from town to town throughout the year, following the same general principle of the traveling libraries that wander over backwoods areas. Instead of landing books, the "bloodmobile" simply borrows blood, with the understanding that the blood will be returned if the donor needs it is a hurry, and quite possible with interest...
