The idea is that any panic shit they'd fire off would fly towards the wall, while the neck and jugular would be easily accessible.
At one point I got hold of a razor blade and cut into my neck above my jugular to the point I needed external and internal stitches.
The spinal accessory nerve arises in the neck through the jugular foramen, descends along the cervical region under the sternocleidomastoid muscle, and reflects to the posterior triangle of the neck in the distal third of that muscle, reaching the shoulder where it extends its first branch to the trapezius muscle, which we designated MTrP1.
"Although there were a number of stab wounds, a stab wound to her neck had severed her jugular vein and was the fatal injury," a pathologist, Brian Roger, told a coroner earlier this year.
He demonstrated a convincingly ferocious attack, mimicking deadly stabs to the torso, and then shifted to the defense, his other hand poised alongside his neck to safeguard his jugular.
In the same surgery, a small incision was next made to the right of the midline of the neck and the external jugular vein was externalized and an intravenous silastic catheter (Dow Corning, Midland, MI) was inserted with its tip reaching right atrium.
Anaesthetized rabbits were cannulated via the carotid artery and subjected to a medial incision in the neck to expose the jugular veins.
The patient was then submitted to right radical neck dissection with internal jugular vein ligation and section of spinal accessory nerve and left modified radical neck dissection type III.
If, at the time of surgery, there is obvious metastatic disease in the jugular chain or lateral neck, modified neck dissection is generally recommended.
Ultrasound scan and venous duplex scan of the neck showed thrombosis of left internal jugular, left external jugular, and left subclavian and left axillary veins with preserved flow in superior vena cava.
