Another bloodwork fail

Someone just came in to draw blood. She couldn't hit the vein which didn't surprise me at all as my veins suck. What *did* surprise me though was that she gave up after the first time. She said "I'm not sticking someone 10 times just to get bloodwork that they are going to do several times today." She apologized to me so I thought I was off the hook. Then she said that someone else would be in to try. Oh well.

Hopefully, the second person will be better at getting a vein.

That happens to me all the time since I had to have it done for 6 mons in the hosp & every few weeks after I got out of the hosp, cause of my heart & pancreas crashed on me that put me in the hosp in the 1st place & now they have to get the right person to do blood test on me.

It’s good she knew she wasn’t capable of it.

I hope the second time was a success! I'm lucky I have very easy veins, they all love me!

At least she didn't just keep poking you.

I had to stop giving blood because they had so much trouble finding a vein. One time they nicked a nerve; and another time the woman left the needle in my arm and went looking for help. Sheesh! I'm sorry they are having so much trouble finding a vein.
