I was late for my appointment with the lab. The person was not able to find my vein to draw blood sample.
She asked a more senior staff who sat besides Huiyi at the reception. She poked into my left arm. She said my vein "jumped". Of course, it would. I would be the one jumping and escaping from the BIG needle. The spot had only a tiny dot of blood.
They had to ask the chief medical technologist to help. The uncle tied my upper right arm and kept on hitting the spot where the vein are located. When the skin broke and the needle entered the vein, my mind was thinking "why is it taking so long?" Then I saw the needle with the syringe. "Why the blood is black?" The med. technologist joked that I have a black heart. Right?! I’m not a 3-year-old kid loh.
I went back to the pharmacy with 2 button-sized plasters pasted to both my forearms. My 2nd boss asked what’s wrong. My senior and Uncle Hie laughed. Haiz… I am afraid of needles mah.
