This is such a horrific experience for me because I go to the lab few times before.Patients Nationwide Now Have Access to Their Lab Test Results The worst is that she did not even apologize and acting everything is fine and run around away hiding in the back. This "Amy R" person should get more training before going into the field, she have no experience and it's hurting patient. The other nurse saw what happened and she was surprised too because my arm already have been poke so many times already, so she need to poke my other arm instead!!! But this other nurse is quick, only take 10 sec and it's done. After poking me another 5 times, She knew she is not doing it right so she call someone else to help. And she did something wrong (not holding the tube correctly) so there is blood leaking out and it also stop in the middle so need to redo it again. First off she have trouble finding my vein, so she poke the needle in 8-10 times until she found it. My blood was draw by "Amy R", and I got poke 8-10 different times until my vein burst and have worst Bruises in my life.
