Today, I went for bloodwork. It's routine for me, so I was ready for the nurse to put in the needle and take my blood. It went in fine, but right after, she slowly pulled the needle out, then wondered why the blood stopped. She then moved it back and forth in my arm while I panicked silently. FML

You're a trooper. I would've screamed like a little bitch. That sounds awfully painful, and this is coming from someone with 4 tattoos.

I remember once I went to get some blood taken and the nurse who went to put the needle in missed my vein 3 times before hitting it. My arm looked like It was molested by mosquitoes x_x

I have teeny veins. The most I've ever been pricked was 18 times, and that's on my good arm. I was laughing and counting as the nurse started looking more and more nervous. Oh, by the way, it wasn't painful to me.

I have routine blood tests this is completely normal, it means the vein has either wiggled away or the vein has burst, pretty simple

Oh yes because startling the nurse who has an incredibly sharp object inside of you is a BRILLIANT idea. WTF is wrong with YOU!?

As someone who had a serious childhood illness: 1. Go **** yourself. 2. They generally put the more gentle and experienced nurses/phlebotomists with us sickos.

Happens to me all the time. My veins are tiny and hard to find. I've had many pathology techs swinging that needle around in my arm to try to find the vein they thought they had. I end up with bruises and obvious puncture wounds. Not a good look, especially in my job.

As a phlebotomist in a major hospital, sometimes the flow can just stop in the middle of a draw (dehydration, patient accidentally moved without realizing it, etc) and it's necessary to adjust the needle's position in order to get the flow back. It's not necessarily her fault, though the adjusting is agreeably uncomfortable.
