This has happened, before. When I was in the Navy I had been put on a diuretic medication that caused me to lose far too much weight (about 25 lbs, and I only weight about 130, to begin with). I was having blood drawn every week or two so they could check on my potassium levels. One time I got a corpsman who was very nervous around women and he blew the draws in BOTH arms. Despite my weight loss, I have VERY good veins for blood draws, which always surprised any of the corpsmen I dealt with. I honestly felt bad for the guy.
