[QUOTE="Yorksman, post: 467828, member: 55568"] The phlebotomists at the hospital do it all day so they have more practice. 90% of the time they have to have a few goes with me. Once they had to take it from my finger, just next to the finger nail. They apologised beforehand because they said it was painful, but with an arm already like a pin cushion, it didn't feel much different. Very occasionally, everything is OK and they get it first time. On a couple of occasions, the phlebotomist had to get someone more experienced. [/QUOTE]
