like yes it sucks, but you know what sucks more? fighting to stay conscious while you wiggle a 20g needle around in the pit of my elbow while you tell me to “sit still.” TELL IT TO MY VEINS BITCH IDK

I would trade places if I could to have those folks. I’d much rather have my elbow dug into than ever get another IV in the hand. Absolutely not. Get the ultrasound and vein finder, cycle between however many phlebotomists you need— do NOT stick my fucking hand 😭😭
