Shouldn't that be the norm? One poke and done! It should only take multiple tries if your veins are really hard to find—otherwise, missing the vein makes you look incompetent. I don’t even let them choose where to stick the needle. I tell them. I have a vein that’s so visible, there’s no way to miss it. If they do, that’s on them lol.

I have "rolling veins" in my arms. The veins moved away from the needles when a nurse tried to take blood from me. Nurses always dug around inside my arms because they aren't allowed to poke you a second time if they didn't hit the vein. I learned to jerk my arm away from a nurse that was trying to dig around in my arms. Then the nurse is just out of luck and can't try again unless I allow it. I don't like being hurt and told them to learn how to do the job and refused another try at it.

I never let a blood tech choose where they take blood. They always want to dig in my arms because the don't know how to do it. I make them take blood from the back of my right hand. The veins there stand up big and proud and the tech can't miss.
I just finished eating my lunch. I made hamburgers and French fries for lunch and put cheese and onions in my burger with ketchup.
I dipped my fries in a mix of ketchup and mayo.

Same here! I never let them choose—I tell them where to stick the needle. I also have a vein that’s so visible, there’s no way to miss it. If they do, that’s on them. Not exactly skilled if that happens lol.
Your food sounds delicious! I’ve been craving a burger and fries lately too—it’s been a while since I last had some.
