Obviously since Rosemary didn’t have a bad experience they must have improved the techniques. I’m sure I just had a very bad experience. I sure don’t remember any numbing agents being used. @rosemary, I’m curious when you had your ABG. After Rosemarys experience and the numerous others I’ve talked to I’m much more at ease if I ever need another one.
I hope all went well,
Jake

jake- My experience was painful too. No numbing agent for me. It felt like a huge elastic snapped in my wrist.
