s2021 -“Thats when I first discovered I have tiny veins.”
Yenta -“The person doing it pricked me tons till they found a vein. Ps I have small veins”
As a former vampire (Phlebotomist -I wear quite a few hats in medicine), that’s the line the incompetent techs use -“Oh, you have small veins.” Noone has poor veins unless they are elderly, babies and/or chronically ill.
Some are just too lazy to look for a good vein and some don’t know how to look. When I look at others who draw blood -the first thing I look for is what they grab for the draw -if they go for the butterfly, more often than not, they don’t know what they are doing!
