"not happy about the nurse that took bloods"

About: The Village Medical Ctr.

went for a blood test > I have prominent veins in the crease of my arm past medical staff have commented on them that they are easy to use. I have given bloods many times re my condition and in the past been a blood donor > and yet she went for a minor blood vessel 30mm away from the main one this caused a large bruised area > I have Never Ever had any form of Bruising from giving blood > this solely due to using a minor vessel > Further more for this blood test Which is Extremely Important as the bloods get used for different specific areas> nurses usually take a minimum of 5 Viles She only took the one? she wouldn't give me a reason why when i asked and she wouldn't give me a reason why she went for a minor vein .

nether was my weight or blood pressure was taken, which considering it was part of my MOT i was surprised at > when i mentioned it she just said use the one outside!!

I will ask for a different nurse next time > all previous nurses I have seen at the surgery have been friendly and proficient

I AM REALLY NOT HAPPY
