They called the doctor, and it took him about 2 seconds to find a vein and stick the needle in.

Hahhh, finally there's at least another person who has suffered from the nurse's ability. My story went like this: I was about 13 yrs old, and suddenly had Dengue fever. Yes, I had to go to see doctor then. And yes, the doctor had to take some blood of mine to do all his crazy tests. That part was fine. When he came up with the decision to do the intravenous therapy (which we human usually call 'drip') - this part wasn't fine
The doc can't even manage to locate any vein on either of my arms
So he kept on tapping on an arm of mine, and tried to inject into the right vein for several times
He had to take 3 breaks from torturing me (and maybe himself) and thank God, he made it at the
8th attempt.
