That is why I'm trying to make them do the left arm. I kind of think they weren't trying very hard because they know the right arm is easier. I have a large vascular birthmark on the right and because there is so much blood flow my veins are bigger and easy to hit (yet they still missed...). The birthmark does mean though that below the elbow I'm nearly impossible to hit so I guess they'll learn that eventually.

They just weren't very good and they gave up too easily. They say I can alternate my 2 veins in the other arm; I say they are trying the left again.

Every week is a lot but clozaril has dropped people's WBC and some have died from it so the FDA requires bloodwork be signed off before they will fill the script. My pharmacy screwed up and gave me a month's worth this time but it should be only 1 week at a time. Even when I go on vacation we have to find a lab and a pharmacy that I can work with (the pharmacy has to be on a national registry).

It's annoying but if the med works I don't care. Especially if people start being competent with the labs...like escapeartist they were able to draw from the left fine in the hospital so I know it is possible (and it used to be my left was my better side).

Oh well.
