@contentandwell I've had up to 5 attempts trying to draw blood. Sometimes they use my fingers or wrist. I usually end up with an IV technician. Also, when they withdraw the IV it end up spurting all over. Can't wait to get less blood tests.

gaylea, It will get better after your transplant. Hugs.

@gaylea1 I wish I had to go for fewer blood tests also, but when the regular phlebotomist is there he does a good job. When there has been a substitute there though, I have had about five attempts too. I do have one fairly decent vein but for some reason some phlebotomists still can’t manage.
