I don't know. Truly. I'm not sure how hard it is to stick a needle into someone's spinal column and then miss--3 times. But then again, I used to do blood gases on people and sometimes I could feel the arterial pulse just fine and when I'd put the needle in, BAM! Nothing. No blood. Guess it happens.
It would kind of been cool to see it done under fluroscopy as I've never seen it done that way.
