Jeebus. The last time I had to have blood drawn, the nurse is sitting on my left, I offer my right arm. She wants my left.

“Can’t find a pulse in my left arm. I have a shunt in that arm.” But she’s gonna try! Of course… no pulse.

So now she want to check clotting properties with the finger stick.

“That won’t work, My Hemiglobin is too high, it causes the test machine to reset.” But she’s going to show that she can…. the machine gives an error code, as always.

did you have an actual RN. I never have luck with the techs, but breathe a sigh of relief when an old, gray-haired RN comes in the room.
So now she’s going to do it veiniously. I offer my right arm. She want to stick my left! “Lady, you just stop right now, you have no idea what you are doing, and you know it so well you won’t listen!”

THAT led to an interesting discussion with the office manager. *sigh*
