Today, I went to the hospital due to vomiting and abdominal pain, and they decided to fit me with an IV drip. It took several tries by two different people to get the cannula in. I feel like a human pin-cushion. FML

To be honest, I'm not sure there are many people that do like needles...

As a nurse OP, we try to get it done as fast as we can. It sucks and sometimes we can't find a good vein to work with, but we aren't purposely trying to hurt you. Stay strong OP you can do it!

As a blood donor I can tell you that some people have easier vains to tap into then others. Bad luck in an already unlucky situation. Best wishes!

It's true. I am a tough stick. My arms are too big and my veins are too deep. I have never successfully gotten a vein in my arm. I always have to get the veins in my hands.

“I got it! It feels just like a mosquito bite." *splat* “Nope. Let's try again. JOHN! COME HELP ME!" “That? No problem. We just stick it in aaannnnndddd-shit. Back to the drawing board."

I had an hour and a half for an mri once, both arms, several people, even started pumping saline into my bicep trying to prove it was in.

I hate when that happens. I hope you're ok OP and what you had wasn't that serious.

It's always hard for them to find a vein and get blood going for me.

My veins move around a lot. A while ago i had to go to the hospital. While trying to put the IV in my hand my vein moved. Instead of taking it out and trying again. They just slid the needle (while still in my hand) around until they found my vein.

Ugh I hate that. It's called "fishing". So painful.

They often do that to a friend of mine - she has the same thing (rolling, thin veins, that is) :( She herself is a nurse and always does such things really carefully and gets really annoyed at people that are ruining her already almost invisible veins in this way

Oooh, I'm getting chills just thinking about that. I'm absolutely terrified of needles...I pass out every time I need to get one. Definitely FYL.

You're lucky, at least you pass out and don't feel anything. I just start panicking and and struggling until a nurse has to come and hold me down.

Look on the bright side, at least they didn't blow a vein. I hope you feel better!
