Blood test at Friston Ward

Story from nhs.uk

"Blood test at Friston Ward"

About: Eastbourne District General Hospital

My daughter had an appointment this morning at 9:00, it was for the blood test. She was repeatedly stabbed with a needle, because you can`t call it any different. The doctor (don`t understand why it wasn't a nurse :-/) that tried to take a blood sample of her, clearly didn't have the skill for that. I had to stop it after three attempts and none of them were successful . Then I was informed that the cream they`ve applied can shrink the veins, but nobody told me that before :-( I`m angry and disappointed with their skills, don`t know who I should see that could be capable to take a blood sample of my daughter. She is 15 months old and she will remember it for a while :-(
