Today, it was my first time taking blood on the ward. The doctor saw that I was nervous and gave me a violent old man with schizophrenia who thought I was there to kill him. FML

sakura_girl tells us more.

Patient needs routine blood investigations; medical student needs more experience. That's the gist of it.

Well, after dealing with that, you should be able to deal with everyone else no problem!

I'm guessing you earned enough experience to take blood from any other patient there then!

Put tin foil on his head and dress up as an ewok to gain his trust. Problem solved.

Now the regular people will be easy!

I hate it when you get someone who is inexperienced! I got the worst care from a night nurse the other day! Had to track her down to change my IV. Never checked on me. Found out after she Knew Nothing. Just out of school. I know they have to learn, but it sucks!

They always send the noobs to me I tell them to be careful because I attack people sometimes when they come at me with sharp things.

you should have been like "I'll only kill you if you don't stay still. If you remain calm I will only extract a little blood. If you move, I'll peel your skin off and make a lamp shade out of your ballsack."

Don't feel so bad. I got the one who came fresh from solitary confinement to the ER. How and where he put that shank to stab me in the back about 5mm from my spinal cord I don't know. He got the joy of stabbing me and I got a keloid that looks kinda like a spider. Crook!

It's not that big a deal, nobody really wanted him anyway.

that is always fun... makes the normals easier though
