"Florence nightingale hospital blood test"

About: University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust

I am prone to bruises as I am diabetic but I rarely get them. Whenever I get a blood test i always end up bruising and sometimes they take so much blood out that it makes me feel weak. They seem like trainees who do the blood tests and they need more training to actually be able to train on humans. They need blood test professionals and to be gentle to those with health conditions.
