O.O the same thing happend to me in November, for emergency surgery...
Cept when I was in teh ER, as one DR was gettin my medical history, the other was drawing blood (it actually helped some...) then, I hear "Uh-oh..." from the EMT guy drawing my blood. Apparently I give blood well
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...
