Anyone ever get a shot at the doctors office that the nurse screws up somehow (wiggles it, jabs to hard, whatever) and makes it hurt, leaving you sore, when you know full well that you could have done it yourself much better.
I've had them miss a few times putting in an iv on the back of my hand... 3 times she missed before I said "OKAY... you know what? That's starting to HURT".
Also missed on a blood test when I already told them not to do it in my right arm because it's too hard to find the vein...

I had to go for an arterial blood scan a few years back: they have to take the blood from an artery, in the wrist, down near the bone. Took four tries on my right wrist, and three more on the left before they got it right. I wanted to sue.
