I was in the hospital 2 weeks ago for my borfer line pneumonia and I've never had trouble getting blood drawn, but the girl had to poke me twice in my left elbow crook, and then I had to get an IV- never had one of those before. Well, she tried my right arm, couldn't get it in, tried the left arm (where I already had 2 holes from the phlebotomist
) and couldn't get it there either so I had to get the IV in my wrist!!
that hurt so bad!!!
I always bruise when I get blood taken, but this time it was really bad, I could barely use my left hand/arm for a few hours. I hope I at least never have to get an IV again
