 Saline is basically the new/less hassle version of blood bags. You can find full salive IV sets that dont require anything or you can find the saline bag and an IV starter kit and put the two together. I dont think you can IV yourself, but ive IVed other people and it works. You equip the full saline+iv in your hands and it should give you the scroll option. 

 

 

edit* in order to be totally safe, you should disinfect your IV before using it with disinfectant spray or that alcohol tincure

I don't think you can :/

You SHOULD be able to, though. Hitting a vein isn't very hard.

Agreed, I have actually done IV IRL after just seeing how its done ONE TIME ONLY (succeeded on second try :) )

You can use it on yourself in game. I have done it.

I don't think you can administer saline to yourself (tried with IV kit). Maybe you can bloodpack yourself?

just hang around some military building with a menacing looking gun (even if you have no ammo), and wait for some unsuspecting fellow (always seems to be russian..) to wander in then point a gun and 'ask' for help with the saline, perhaps also offer them something for the help. Karma is the untold miracle of success. <3

Are you sure? I have not been able to, if so, how? I hope if you can't rocket will implement it, make it take alot longer then when someone applies it to you. Maybe 30-60 seconds?
