i know what you mean about phlebotomists that you LOVE to see come
into the room. Because of my conditions and NUMEROUS blood draws
when I was in the hospital, my status moved from a normal "tough stick"
to "a motherfucker".
.
Half of them would stick me twice and call someone else in. Another
25% or so would not hit the first time. The ones who just walked in
and BAM -- though a common factor was they ALL took a LOT of time
to find a good vein -- my face would light up and they NEVER disappointed.
.
I've even stumped their go-to guys -- the paramedics who have
experience finding veins in a moving bouncing vehicle. So to see one
that I KNOW is good -- even better than Ice Cream Friday!!!

Again... you would be on MY list of "local heroes" for what you do.
