"Worst blood test experience ever"

Blood test done by a very inexperienced and unprofessional nurse.

First I was told to hold my arm in the air without having any support underneath(I could always have my arms supported during blood test on some surface and I was always told to do so). In today's case, I was not allowed to do so and cause a lot tension on the arm.

Second, the nurse moved needles inside my muscle trying to find blood vessels when they realised there was no blood coming out) which cause huge pain and several bruises.

Third, the nurse pressed my arm very very very hard in order to collect more blood. I never experienced such medic all treatment during blood test!!

I wish I could upload pictures of how my arm looks like now to this website!
