She tried four or five times to find a vein on my left arm, after I repeatedly told her to try my right arm. The second she tried the vein I suggested…she had the three vials of blood she needed -_- Back of my left hand, with the goddamn butterfly needle. Gaaahhh. It’s nice when they thank you for knowing. It’s not so nice when you have to get bloodwork so much that your best vein collapses. =(
