Michelle and I had a little blood draw d...Dang yo. Michelle and I had a little blood draw done last week (we are getting supplemental life insurance and they are like paranoid about testing us to make sure we're healthy). Anyway, normally I'm totally fine giving blood (samples or a big amount). Well this nurse, like right when she pulled the needle out she put the cotton pad on the spot and squeezed it SOOOO hard it was like 1000x more than necessary. Usually a little pressure to make it stop bleeding. This was ridiculous. It hurt the entire day, like a real soreness. The next day a huge purple bruise started spreading down my arm (not at the actual needle spot but downstream). I was so worried since it has never happened before that I googled it and apparently she probably nicked a vein or, more likely, squeezed so hard she burst some, and so it was bleeding internally. Anyway, it's been more than a week and it's still noticeable but has been slowly going away. <br /><br />I was really annoyed with this nurse. If she had just been careful like the hundreds of other nurses who have sticked me in my life, it woulda been fine but she was like getting all distracted (she has chickens too so she was asking about ours). Nothing is more pet peeve of mine than unprofessional professionals. So anyway, I'm sure you're careful and everything but just keep in mind that your patients are people too that want the best care they can get. Not that you don't care, but maybe just don't make comments that downplay stuff. I would never want Mrs. Bruisy-Mc9000PSI-Nurserson again! >:-OBoo plus Aroohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01408199893389509666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7036272516528479528.post-19291992520562641242013-02-15T12:17:28.603-08:002013-02-15T12:17:28.603-08:00Aw I'm glad you had a good Valentine's Day...Aw I'm glad you had a good Valentine's Day.
