All your needle stories...
Once while hospitalized a young intern/nurse/someone in a white coat was trying to insert an IV into the back of my hand. That big ole vein just kept bouncing away from the needle. The poor guy was having such a hard time I could tell he was getting nervous and worried about hurting me.
It didn't help I was being a backseat driver... 'push a little to the left, no - no - go ahead, more - more, you're gonna get it!' I, in my
stupidity
innocence, I thought I was helping and didn't realize I was making it worse for him til I looked up and saw how clammy white his face was.
I never saw him again while I was there... wonder if he decided he just wasn't cut out for the medical world.
