No More Smacking, Slapping, Flicking, and Tapping!! No More “Stick And Hope You Hit Something And Keep Sticking Until You Do” methods!!!<br /><br />The new 21cVA TECHNIQUE for locating, dilating, grading and accessing veins is here – and is supported by Gray’s Anatomy of the Vein, Starling’s Equilibrium of the Venous System, Chemistry, Physics and Math.<br /><br />The needle replaced the razor in 1853. The new VeniCuff will replace the Tourniquet in 2016. No more infiltrations, hemoconcentrations, ruptured veins, or multiple stick events.Mary Gail Stotlerhttp://www.tnsvat.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5532388825298713035.post-10525666458719222482012-10-22T09:56:17.430-04:002012-10-22T09:56:17.430-04:00Could totally relate to your post.

Happens a lot of times when inexperienced lab techs draw the blood.<br /><br />Couple weeks back, I even had my IV put up for a contrast MRI ripped off by one of the techs. Blood was oozing out for a while for no fault of mine.Prasadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00042409782681397049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5532388825298713035.post-23407683069575664212012-10-15T18:41:10.579-04:002012-10-15T18:41:10.579-04:00I also hate blood draws.

The last time I had one done I was in the middle of a migraine, so I was already sicker than hell. My daughter drove me & went in w/me & she got sick watching-bad idea. I use to work on the ambulance years ago. A good tip, pointless now but if they listen to you next time, use a heating pack on the site for a few minutes to draw your veins up so they can see them better. Still hurts but got by with one stick. And I drank a gallon of water right before we left the house to go there early in the am, that was all I could tolerate-witn my abortive meds and Zofran. But get a couple of those quick heat packs that are quick acting like those disposable ice packs and take them w/you next time in case they are too stupid to know how to use them or where they are stored.

And sorrier that it's not that uncommon, for all of us with overworked veins.Barbara Kivowitzhttp://www.insicknessinhealth.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
