I do not know how funny this may be to nurses, but to me, a diabetic, it rings so true!
Pastor John, I actually feel your pain. I am a very "hard stick" and have had to be stuck up to 9 times to get blood drawn. They usually have to call the IV team or anesthesia to start an IV on me. The last one I had was for a colonoscopy. They finally had to put it inside my wrist and literally held it in place.
So, I do understand about getting stuck. But, it is a sick joke among nurses, that a bad patient causes his/ her own pain. We can legally torture. :) I hope you all know that even tho' it is a joke, none of the nurses I have ever known did anything to purposely inflict pain. Honestly!
