Continuing the request.
I have to go to the hospital to get more blood drawn tomorrow. My arms still hurt from last week... The doctor's office doesn't have the right supplies anymore & the actual hospital makes you do all this extra shit for a phlebotomy. The person who stuck me last week dug around in my arm 4 times before they called in someone who could get the job done. Fuuuuuuuuck.
Yeah, I got put through the same agony multiple times -- and my arm looked like I was shot the nest day. Last month, I told the phlebotomist <b>three times</b> to be careful and she told me, <i>"I think I know what I doing!"</i> No, it took her four tries... <i>et cetera.</i>

You have my sympathies. I've been told I have "difficult veins". The last time I was in the hospital they stuck me THIRTEEN times, and finally had to call in the Head of Phlebotomy for the whole hospital. HE had to try twice. I was ready to punch somebody in the head if they came at me with another needle.

Well. I certainly hope your medical visit goes better this time.
I have never understood how they just turn the trainees loose on patients in a medical setting.
So unprofessional.
