The medical technician improperly stuck me with a needle three (3) times in three (3) different locations and had trouble hitting well pronounced veins each time. She moved the needle around roughly and widely while under the skin unable to hit the vein. Eventually at the third site with much maneuvering and pain she was able to get sufficient blood. During this procedure she complained that the arm rest was positioned too high.
She caused severe bruising at two of the three sites which are still present four days later. Blood was taken on Thursday, 15 August 2019 at about 11:30 AM Eastern Time.
I complained to her. She understood my situation. I have blood taken every two months roughly for the past 10 years at this facility and have never had a problem of any kind. My veins are easy to hit and three vials are filled up in under 15 seconds total. She took 10 minutes.
She needs training and should never have been allowed to perform this operation. Please prevent her from injuring anyone else in the future. She is a very nice and concerned person with a pleasant personality and I feel bad to have to be mentioning her, however, for everyone's benefit she must be trained better before continuing 'practicing on patients.
Note that the attached two pictures of both left and right arms are a full four days since the incident.
