I would, too, if I could, though I just can't watch that needle while it is in there (at least on me). My sister runs a medical lab and, when I lived in the area, used to have her take my blood, which I much preferred to the random phleb.LIW (Lady In Waiting)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06199047053421154823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16918275.post-44844399881770298972007-05-08T05:34:00.000-07:002007-05-08T05:34:00.000-07:00Oohh!!

I have challenging veins, but when I say that to the phleb, most of them think "Ohh...you're just being dramatic so you can get a smaller needle" and they want to try the green one anyway. I actually don't mind needles or pokes...I hate the digging! Although, I must admit, they've been pretty nice more recently (even the ones who don't know me) and they use the smaller needle at my request -- either the black tip needle or the butterfly, and they get it in one poke. But EVERY TIME they use that flippin' green needle, they miss, and they DIG and I HATE that!!

I totally understand about not wanting co-workers to know what you are up to and not wanting to know what labs are being done. To many questions and explanations.battynursehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02240029154165501340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16918275.post-69156683107794181442007-05-06T07:37:00.000-07:002007-05-06T07:37:00.000-07:00Now even though the phlebo won't know the reason, ...Now even though the phlebo won't know the reason, the lab techs will, right?<BR/><BR/>I got your picture in the mail yesterday.
