I've a good news to share with you guys.. As I'm a Laboratory technologist, I know how to withdraw blood sample of adults but I never took children's blood sample. But in this month I learnt to withdraw kids sample and I did it nicely. .and today even I learnt to withdraw sample of a 7 months baby.. she was very good that she didn't cry at all.. aww so cute... (Pic is mine)

Yes, taking blood from kids is a tedious task and many are not brave enough to do that work. I have seen many nurses are refusing in case of children. May be they are scared. Only talented technicians and nurses will show willingness to tackle children.

@akp100 Yes, becuase it is difficult to handle. Many children won't sit properly or follow instructions.

@Sreekala Sit, they just start crying or doing odd behavior after entering into hospital or kind of lab.

Normally it can be quite difficult to withdraw the sample of a 7 months old. Congrats

@ShifaLk Do you have those kinds of people coming who are afraid and makes it difficult for you to take their samples?

That's cool. Doing this thing with kids is always difficult I guess. As they don't easily allow or cry too much. So you did good job there. Congrats.

Doing it on kids is really tough as their veins are so thin. I know because we have difficulties with our son's sample collection. Experts are needed. Glad you learnt that! :)

@HAPPSINGH yeah, it is. They have to prick many times for the blood. And it's painful. I am still not well.

That might have been difficult for you. I remember when a lab tech used to take blood sample from my kids ,they used to cry a lot which used to make them irritating.

Back in the day I did a phlebotomy course at my hospital. I did well with adults but not so well with kids until I was given a cream that numbs the skin...after that I did ok with kids too but they weren't my chosen area

Indeed with a child , it would be difficult because they can't be controlled especially when they are scared. That is nice to now. Congrats on that.
