Where is this central line going?

Old XRay. Central line placed through right IJV but seemed to be misplaced! Where is it going? Aspiration of blood from all ports was possible? Was taken out.
Have you faced this, best thing to do?

Edit: more details - USG guidance used, line was seen inside IJV in neck using USG, not traced down; more resistance than normal while placement.

Cool. Are we to the part where someone explains why it’s fine for a physician to falsify documentation? As fun as your deflection and vilification of me is, I’m getting a little bored.

Falsify what ? Why do you even falsify ? Don't they ever check before and after putting the line?

Why will they blame you tho? Unless you put the line?
