[QUOTE="SophiaW, post: 153767, member: 13451"] Han&Yas, I'm sorry to hear about your little boy's ordeal. I had to watch Jess forceably held down to get blood for a yearly blood test after they had tried in various places without success. Eventually Jess decided enough was enough and wouldn't let them near her. That's when the nurse called in for backup and another two nurses came in to hold her down whilst they shoved a needle into her trying to get more blood. Eventually we left, both very upset by the ordeal and I vowed never to let that happen again. It is not right to do that to a child. We've never been back to the peadiatric ward for bloods (our consultant was even horrified when I told him what had happened). Now we go to the adult bloods place at our more local hospital and we've never had a problem since. The nurse there is lovely and always promises that if she can't get blood this day (Jess has difficult veins) then she'll stop and we'll try again another day, but so far we've never needed to go back again because she gets it first time every time. Can you tell me more about this new testing device you're using, it sounds interesting? [/QUOTE]
