Eddie Hill I used to be very afraid of needles too! I’ve had to get IVs and blood tests a lot in the past year though, and what’s helped me the most is thinking about how the worst part is right before you’re poked. The fear is worse than the actual pain, I think, because you either don’t know or can’t remember what the sensation will be like exactly

Paul Mallory I don't think starting an IV is that easy. Doctors whose job doesn't include doing this on a daily basis, won't be that gentle/fast enough or they will just simply miss the vein, compared to other specialists (eg. anesthetists or IV nurses), who regularlay start IV's, often under time pressure.

Eddie. Its not so much the needle that hurts. Every time I get a shot that "hurts" its usually the actual injection that "hurts". And if you ever need an IV you'll be more than happy to receive it!

I have had a phlebotomist fish on both elbows and both hands. I have hard to find veins and I warned her about this before she started. She ended up blowing out the veins in both hands, fortunately the lab work didn’t need to be done stat so I was able to wait a week for the veins to mostly heal and go back to a different clinic to get the blood work done.

I had carpal tunnel the first time labor was induced at 41 weeks. That bitch stuck me 7 times searching for a good vein. The seventh was in my outer wrist where my carpal tunnel was intense. Once she got the blood needed, she was going to leave it for an IV. I demanded she remove it or I would. I also told her if she stuck me again I was going to stab her with the damn needle. She copped an additude. I called off the induction, removed it, threw it at her and stormed out AMA. Fuck her. Worst maternity phlembotimist EVER. Didn't want her anywhere near my baby after that. I came back for induction round 2 at 42 weeks and was treated much better. No sign of that cunt, and my mother in law wasn't breathing on the door and rattling the knob 15min after arriving for induction, either. (Murderous look)

So good to see the subject of fishing talked about. Through my years as a nurse I've seen so many that fish and I always pull them aside to work on breaking that habit. I find most are just very unsure about their ability and rush themselves. Best to take your time, know your target area and break it down so fishing isn't done. Better for medical staff and more so for patients.

@ImmersiveMedical

Part of the reason L&D likes distal peripheral veins, forearms/wrists/hands, is because when you go into labor you bend your arms! If the venous catheter is in the antecubital (crook of your arm) and you bend your arm really hard (which tends to happen during labor), it will crimp the catheter and nothing gets through.

But for newer professionals this is a great tip. I’ve never heard it before anywhere, and I do work with many agency nurses who travel and nobody’s ever mentioned this tip and I’ve never seen it done or during watching proctoring of new students/nurses . 👍 Good idea!

I always have to be pricked at least 3 times and with a smaller sized needle and usually they end up going for my wrist or hand. I'm fine with being pricked, but dang when I was pregnant having an IV placed or blood taken was always a big deal. I'm not sure why, but I have very tiny veins and a nurse had to "straighten out" a vein in my hand when I was getting ready to give birth, so she could place my IV in. I just try to be a good patient. Lol.

This is true it happens. It’s a fight or flight response from our body, I see it all the time in patients. A person gets scared or anxious and the flight or fight response kicks in and sucks our blood to the core to protect itself, and somehow changes blood flow. I’ve had this happen too many times to even count, what happens is the vein won’t fully disappear but it will reduce in size in response to fear. Often the patients who experience this are also the ones who can faint during the process. Absolutely true this happens. Also the body being cold can do this as well makes it really difficult to find a fully expanded vein sufficient for use on some patients.

One time they not only fished but poked me multiple times, blood everywhere (I take blood thinners but only she made such a mess.) finally someone walked up and did it and got it on first try. Due to this, I request a numbing shot first. My veins aren’t that difficult but certain people just dig around!
