Just given blood. Only took them about 47 shots to get the needle in.
My left arm is going to be an interesting shade of purple tomorrow

WOW.

Ouch. Why did it take 47 shots?

I know how you feel Mark. The last time I went to the doctor, he wanted lab tests. After making pincushions out of both inner elbows and both wrists,

she was finally able to get some from the top of my right thumb. My veins are deep and they roll, so I have this problem each and every time.

The problem was it was a very hot and humid day, now with these sort of conditions it is much harder to get a vein. There is a flip side, you "give" much quicker, my pint was out in 6mins and 41 secs which is an all-time record! I normally take a good 10-15 mins

So how much sympathy did you get from your mum then, or need I not ask. Maybe she should have done the procedure

Matt

If mum had done it she'd have used a rusty drain pipe as a needle I'm not her favourite person.... The only reason I got absolution was because I've supplied grandchildren

So does this mean every time you go out with friends and you play darts, When they leave You will apply Dettol using cotton wool???
