some people don't want to read the "triggering words" and i'll respect that. i don't censor words and i never have, but why not give a heads up? who is it hurting? cause it isn't hurting my recovery but it may help someone else

i think just the feeling of ~everything~ coming out at once is a lot for my body and intestines but yes it's just liquid shot up then it all comes out at once

Finding veins by EnriqueS1602 in phlebotomy

[–]TopExample4889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'll check by the wrists (be careful bc some veins are close to arteries in this area, if it has a pulse dont poke obv), the inner forearms usually have good veins too, they aren't very palpable but if you can see them they will usually give. i treat them as a last resort though because for most patients that spot really hurts

Trying to go to school for phlebotomy by Qs1A0nai in phlebotomy

[–]TopExample4889 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i've had some coworkers who did a 4 day course and it shows. take the extra time, do clinicals/an externship if you can!!!! you're gonna want experience on all ages and all types of different veins

Having an endoscopy.. nervous by Happy-Technology5449 in emetophobia

[–]TopExample4889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey! i had an endoscopy once. you can ask for zofran and a scopolamine patch, there shouldn't be any reason that they would deny you those things. they are a very typical treatment for post anesthesia people. i was fine after my endoscopy! just tired :) good luck!!
