Black liquid in blood??

[Vampire0660]

When I had my Artirial blood gas test done the first time she went in too deep and I say black liquid in the tube, she quickly pulled it out and said "nope that's not it" and got a new surenge and then got the blood. What was the black liquid I seen???

Hi Vampire. I can only imagine it's blood. Very often it's not bright red but rather very dark red, almost like red wine.

Yes, she was after arterial blood but got venous blood first time.

I also several days later am still experiencing soreness pain inside my arm where she did it.....

The last time I had a haemotoma on my shin it took about 3 weeks to go. Hope you feel better soon.

If you have any concerns, do go back to the person who did it or to your doctor.

All the best.
