Blood Drawing Experience

I recently had a blood drawing done last Monday afternoon after I got off from working.

When I got to the lab, the Staff was rude and disrespectful/didn’t listen. Is anyone hard to get for blood samples and bad veins? The lab tech tried to use me as a human pincushion. I don’t go over two tries.

I have the problem too - thin veins, not very prominent. So the 'pincushion' experience. My sympathies.
