Jan 2019

Had a medical problem, lots of blood draws over a short time, my inner elbow veins disappeared, probably in fear of the needle...

they can't use the other arm, for medical reasons, so now I have a chest port.

Now, with age, I notice the veins in the inside of my wrist look like a river delta, branching out all over the place, but the skin is too thin for blood draw, found out the hard way.

So maybe his hand is a good draw/insert place for him. Really can't see any other reason to have a bandaid there. But never have seen fresh blood thru a bandaid after needle stick, either.
