DailyDi Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Doctor's appointment today, standard check-up and med refills. Lady who drew blood was new (oh no!) and stuck me good. Good thing I was wearing a pull-up as I peed in shock as she stuck me hard. 3 Link to comment

Pampertimmy Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 I had blood taken a few weeks ago. I asked the tech that drew the blood if she was stirring it while the needle was in my arm. I don’t think she thought very funny. 1 Link to comment
messyman Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 My best needle stories are from not wearing a diaper when donating blood. After getting stabbed I was in peeing in the potty when the arm I was not holding it with started dripping blood. It took a while to stop peeing so I could pull my pants up and while bleeding the whole time go back and get re-bandaged. 1 Link to comment
AbabeBill Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Ouch! Next time, ask if they will hold your hand while they stick you. If it hurts, squeeze their hand hard! 1 Link to comment
foreverdl Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 I have had several bad nurses that took 4-5 tries and , after I had the worst one in a local hospital . I said NO more I want someone that knows what the hell she is doing . And after that I ask before they stick me if they are experienced . Some of them get offended and I say to them you get one chance and then I want the most experienced . You can say No to them, and make them get a different nurse etc. Keep in mind your in charge not them.... Not enough people understand this.. 2 1 Link to comment
FretaBWet Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I donated blood on Monday and I complimented the technician on his needle work. I seriously could hardy feel the needle pierce the skin and they use a large Guage needle. Only too 5 minutes to get the pint. Hugs, Freta 1 Link to comment

dlsafrica Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 The title of this made me think of The Simpsons Link to comment
WetDad Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I donated blood for many years, so I have this nice scar that defines "the spot". Even the newbies get it right for me. Link to comment
Lil Leo Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Hiii! I've had a lot of blood drawn since my auto immune attack and I like to try to shake up the phlebotomists by telling them " I'm an easy hit so no excuses " LOL they usually hit the vein the first try. 🧜♂️ Link to comment
