[quote=Anonymous]As pp stated, it's part of monitoring. For me, I ended up going in daily. I am a very hard stick. I have tiny veins that collapse and roll. Prior to monitoring I would drink 2-3 bottles of water. Usually by day 4 or 5, I've run out of places to insert a needle. Both arms usually get bruised on day 1. Then they go for my hand and wrists. Eventually they looked to my legs for a vein. The nurses at the clinics are no better then anyone else. The only good is that if you have to repeat the process, they will remember you. During one monitoring cycle, the nurse just could not find a place to draw from. The anesthesiologist happened to be walking into work--coffee in hand. The nurse stopped him as he was passing by and asked him to do my blood draw. Now, he was good![/quote]
