[QUOTE="slicktop, post: 170396, member: 39800"] If you look at your forearms and the crook of your elbow, can you clearly see veins? If so, you've likely got an inexperienced phlebotomist. Tell them to slow tf down and use a smaller needle and it should be fine. Some LabCorp locations are so busy they try to rush everything to get to the next patient, so they hit you hard and fast with a big ass needle that'll fill the vial quicker. Lots of times that doesn't work as good as taking one extra minute and letting the patient relax and using a smaller needle that will pierce, instead of push, the vein. I'm an easy draw but I still get nervous 100% of the time at LabCorp, and if I can tell the tech is in a rush it makes it even worse for me. [/QUOTE]
