Blood Test (HURT)
Just did my 6 month PCR blood draw today and the regular nurse was off,this replacement nurse wasnt up to par.She was dropping my my small blood tubes all over the floor and when she was bending down to pick up the tube with the needle still in my arm,it was not fun.She even kept pulling the last tube out over and over again saying it was only filling up halfway,so she calls other nurse to check it out and she says its designed that way.And she wouldnt shut the hell up ...i asked her about the PI drugs and she didn t have a clue what it was..AMAZING and SCARY

Every once in a while you can get a person who seriously shouldn't ever be taking anybody's blood and it does really hurt.
But when you get back that SVR report in a few days - it's all going to have been worth it in the end! :)

I learned early on to make sure that the alcohol used on the area is blown dry as that is often the cause of the most pain with the needle going in and just that bit of alcohol going in with the needle.
I usually get the whole room waving their hands to keep away the hurties!

I actually had no problems ever before,goes to show ya whats let lose on the public.
Yikes!! That sounds just awful. My first blood test, I must have had a new nurse, because I ended up with a bruise all up and down my arm. All subsequent blood draws have been a much easier experience.
Now thats a word i never would be able to pronounce.,,,they make 15-20 bucks /hr,i just googled the job info..She even had to redo one old lady because she missed a tube.I alos just found out the BOC trial im in has me sceduled for another PCR in another 6 months.This will be a year after TX.Also going for a ultra sound this month...ALL FREE
