My veins are very tricky...they get shy around strangers. I pray they behave next Monday...I hate getting poked so many times. The EGD, 3x they tried to get mine started...

I have the same problem. I always let them know right off which veins are the best and I tell them to use a juvenile needle. That usually works best.

Same here. I tell the nurse she gets two tries and then her backup has to come in. She gets one try. If she cant find i tell them to bring in a heroin addict to do it

Arrgh...sent from my Ayephone matey using magic. Sleeved 8/23/13
