just be the type of person whose veins are not easily detected. You want pain, just have them miss a few times trying to find a vein. I would say that the finger pricks can hurt more depending on which finger and the position of the hole made.

- LeftTurnSignal 8y ago/not relevant to the article, but sort of relevant to your comment. When I was 11 I was in the hospital. A nurse was going to replace my IV. She spent 45 minutes trying to find a vein in either arm. She got another nurse and within 5 minutes, it was done. The new nurse said that the previous one just got done trying to put an IV in an infant so she was "a little stressed" and "should have known better" about not stabbing a child for 45 minutes straight. That experience was pure hell. It hurt so much. I was so sick that I could barely move or talk to ask for someone new. All I could do was lay there screaming in my mind and sort of move every once in a while.
