Mmmm.. yeah, that's probably a good way to end up with the patient vomiting all over the place or fainting in the middle of the draw.
I have to get blood drawn way too often, and needles are terrifying. Under no circumstance would I ever antagonize a phlebotomist because they wield the instrument of my undoing. FUCK this awful lady (?) for being the thing that turns unpleasant moments into phobias.
Speaking of terrifying needles, this one time when I was hospitalized two nurses spent 2+ hours trying to find a good vein for the IV, nothing. Brought an ultrasound thingy to help, nothing, veins would collapse instantly. Trendelenburg positioned the bed and tried pricking the veins in my neck, still nothing. This was after I spent 10 days is the ICU getting IV antibiotics so my veins were shot, just couldn't handle it.
I was covered with bruises. I wasn't afraid of needles before but I sure was after those experiences, some months later I had to get some blood tests and the lady missed on the first time, which normally is no biggie, but because I was dreading having to be pricked 300 times again my mood dropped immediately and I almost started crying
