Iâm gonna lose it I was just getting my blood drawn and the first vein she stuck wasnât producing any blood so she took the needle out and it didnât bleed at all and I said âwoahâŚ.I donât have any bloodâ and she very seriously said âI doubt thatâs it. Iâm having an issue finding a big enough vein.â
She really thought I really thought maybe Iâm outta blood.
What I learned from this is a lot of medical professionals have had to explain to people they canât run out of blood and live
And a real medical professional shouldnât have to stick you multiple times to draw blood.Â
In her defense, my doctor is at a teaching hospital, so there are always students, residents, interns etc. learning. The doctor or nurse or flabotomist asks permisssion for their student to practice on you, and I usually say yes unless Iâm feeling particularly sick tht day and donât want to risk exactly this.
Also I really took a blind shot at spelling phlebotomist huh
Flabotomist
You have to be nice to me I have a rare no-blood disorder
