Medical, blood, needle 

I'm a very hard stick for blood draws* so I'm used to shenanigans involving that.

First time I've had them take blood from the veins under my arm though. Ow.

*my record is four nurses and 6 stabs before they got blood. Today was 2 and 3.

Medical, blood, needle 

@Doephin Keet and I have largely given up getting blood drawn anywhere but the back of the hand 'cause the veins in our arms both roll. Sympathies.
