"Getting blood samples & Canulas fitted"

After a bladder removal in March, I was back in for infection control by drip, starting at the SAU. I was frozen stiff there after arriving at 10 and had 6  different people trying to find my veins to get a needle in. All failed. It is generally well know I have narrow veins.

I was taken in, ending up in Ward 56 where they then used ultrasound to find a vein.

Several days later I was getting stressed about being used as a pin-cushion. The nurse that night said, 'give me a moment' & returned with a glove full of hot water, that I was to hold in my hands, under the blanket. When she returned, my veins had grown larger & were highly visible. It was easy to insert the canula.

I would like to recommend her for her care above & beyond that shown by the others.
