June 01, 2005BE DISABLED--Have a physical impairment of some kind.
There's a picture on the right sidebar of me...yes I am in a wheelchair. I have 1 finger on each hand (I still type faster than you nyahhhh) and shortened amputated legs. I use a warp-driven, Commie-stomping electric wheelchair.
Well it was decided at my new doc that bloodwork needed to be done. I haven't had blood drawn in 20+ years. I have really small veins. One look and their lab personnel ran screaming. They called the hospital phlebotomists--they ran screaming.
Come on--these are the people who do this for a living!!
It was always joked about they'd have to "go south" for the blood...ummm....WRONG ANSWER. Now my doc herself is going to do it-using a Pediactric blood draw kit, have me shave my head (which I routinely do anyways) and try it from a spot on my head.
This should be downright comedic.
