Very minor rant - had a blood test done today. The person who did it ignored all my suggestions to go for the smaller vein she could only just feel and instead prodded around a bit (with her finger, thankfully, not like one dr who prodded around with the needle... to find a vein) and decided to go with a larger vein she found. Which promptly tried to escape out the back of my elbow making it more painful(*) and take longer than usual. The other effect of it is that it has given my left elbow a dull ache for most of the day
(*by which I mean I actually felt slight sharp stab as the needle went in. Normally it's not actually painful at all)
