Yesterday my company had a health screening exercise.. so those taking part had to collect samples of their urine and stool.. i had a very hard time collecting my stool.. but lets not go into details for that...
There was a lab technician who came to take samples of our blood for testing too.. so i was the first as i was the earliest in the office.. the usual procedure where she will tie an elastic band on my arm and feel around for a juicy vein.. she went on to jab me on my right arm.. she moved the needle around in my flesh looking for my vein.. i was just looking away and asking her stupid questions to get my mind off the needle in my flesh.. after more than half a min she still could not find the spot.. she removed the needle and told me to let her try my left arm..
Same procedure, tie, feel jab, feel and remove again!!.. i think she was very stressed so i asked her to draw my colleague's blood first while i tried to hit my vein out.. when he was done i went in again.. she checked both arms back and forth over and over again.. i think she was really very stressed.. i told her i was alright.. she was worried i will be traumatized but i think she was the one being traumatized.. she did not feel confident to jab me again and wanted to keep me for the last.. so i waited for her and continue to try to make my vein pop out..
I went in again after all my colleagues were done... again she keep feeling both my arms again and again and again.. she even knelt on the floor to try putting my arms in different angles.. she was making me nervous.. finally she stood up and she told me she gave up.. she will get someone else to come and try again..
i got shy veins..
