I’m now in the hospital and on my left arm I have IV plus my name tag what do I do with Tefillin shel Yad?

 

Usually it can be wrapped gently over the IV, and slipped under the name tag. If not possible it can be wrapped over the name tag.

If not at all possible:

If you can tighten the tefillin on the bicep, that is enough. Better to also make a “shin”.

Better to also bring the strap down to the finger and wind around it. You can skip the 7 circles throughout the arm.
