All I know is I had blood all down my forearm, and they had to give me quite a few shots of saline to get the bleeding down....(don't make much sense to me)

BUT! the pain of teh needle (they stuck the largest size they had in me! ) made the pain from my very swollen appendix go down

Then I woke up from the actual surgery, had an IV in my hand, 'cos they were gonna use the one in my elbow for drawing blood... Ok fine, I can at least move my arm a bit now. Next day, a nurse came in told me she needed blood, fine I don't need another needle. WRONG she stuck me THREE times trying to find the vain in my other arm, when CLEARLY I had the open vain in my other arm

Above mentioned events, have deepend my hatred for needles... But only medical, as I do plan on getting a few tattoos...
Get this too... My bf's mother, draws blood for a living...

Sorry to hear that the phlebotomist drawing your blood were incompetent. It is people like them that gives us good phlebotomists' a bad name!
