I was admitted because I could not breathe due to bad viral infection. auxillary nurse tried four times to take blood out both my arms eventually telling me oh ive blown your vein. I was left with huge purple arm for 2 wks. as I have just gotten over my fear of needles all my confidence has gone as a junior doctor tried to take gas blood test hit a nerve and I am left with a wrist I cannot touch. I also passed out with pain eventually a nurse came took blood no problem I have such fear of having to go back to hospital I was left traumatised
