So I have a question. Who will they be using these on? on all adults or just on people who need it?

I have a Power Port (a small rectangle port in my chest) and I love it and hate it. It looks ugly ass hell but it saves my life. All my veins in my arms are blown so I had to get it. I do get it flushed once a month if it's not used, but it's always used. I've had it for a year this month and haven't had any problems with it at all.
