you couldn't make it up!
During my routine blood test at the local surgery, the nurse had difficulty locating a vein. Eventually, she, in her words, "went in blind". As she unsuccesfully prospected in my arm trying strike blood, I asked why she hadn't patted on the area to raise the vein, a common practice. She replied, "Oh no, that's deemed abuse."

Re: you couldn't make it up!
I have been used much like a pin cushion recently and it usually goes with a joke and bit of banter, but I came across a person who clearly had had a sense of humour bypass and so I didn,t try any levity. Instead when she stuck the needle in I said "how very professional, I didn,t feel a thing" After a second or so pause she said "but I havn,t found a vein yet "
After three more tries we abandoned my left arm and struck blood in the right, at last.

Re: you couldn't make it up!
I've donated approaching 50 units of blood over the last 30 years. Mostly it's been straightforward, but a couple of times they've made a right old mess of it, and you leave the session vowing never to return. Of course a few months later, when it's all forgotten, you return. The worst they have done is give me some major bruising for a week or so...
