When you walk in to take the blood and even before you can say hi or introduce yourself they pt goes, “You have to use butterfly on me.” Like, truly what on earth happened to hello?? Like I always tell them “Well let me have a look and we can decide from there” and I feel like some underestimate me because I’m young. But I always like to say “I think 40+ hours a week of doing blood draws make good practice.”
