I went to get blood work done, the phlebotomist used a wrong size needle, she couldn’t find my vein on my right arm, so she kept inserting the needle in different areas on that arm, which caused two bruises. She decided to use my left arm, once the needle was in she didn’t remove the torniquete so blood wasn’t coming out, she was moving the needle while inside of my arm to try to make blood come out. Until minutes later she removed the torniquete and that’s when blood started coming out. My left arm is also bruised.
