I woke up right, and I wasn't in horrific pain like the rest of the week, still in a hell of a lot of pain, but not terribly horrific. I then went to get my treatment and because of that I couldn't get to the GPs for some early pain meds, and they wouldn't give me any because I'm an out-patient. This was at 5ish, it takes an hour to get to the GP, I rushed over there and saw someone, who gave me the prescription, but the phamacist closed and the 24h phamacy doesn't have them in. OK, I have enough for tonight, Ma' will run out tomorow morning and get the meds for me so they're in when I wake up.
But, but, there is one guy at the hopsital, who has fucked up my canular 4 times now, he's a fucking cunt and I hope he gets fired. I hate him, actually hate that prick. He was the one up to do me, and I thought I would let him redeem himself, let him show me he isn't a prick. Well, more like, I ask one of the other girls who can do it with no problems and she said she was busy. Please note, the whole time I'm like "You gonna be good? You da' man? Who's the best in the hopsital? FUCK YEAH, LETS DO THIS." He has no idea that when I want to think about good things, I picture his shoes next to the wheel of a bus.
I have some cream on my arm 'cus I hate needles, he knows I hate needs, he knows deeply how much I hate needles, it wasn't a supprise. The creme is in the crook of my arm, where it always is. He wiped off the cream himself, so he knows where it is. I even said "Over here" and pointed to a big area he could use. We had an unwritten unverbal contract on this.
After the FORTH FUCKING TIME in the MIDDLE of my arm, I tell him to stop, that I'll go without or whatever, I'm just not letting do it. I then ask the nurse who isn't even a plebotimest but can do it if I don't tell anyone, and she does it perfectly first time, honestly didn't feel a thing 'cus she's so good and the creme.
The good thing though is that the attack that has caused agonising horrible pain since late sundayish has gone, and it's replaced with the standard pain.
I had a little cry =(

I bet you're counting a pin-prick blood test as them though and they dont' even count when it comes to counting needles.

Particularly when they know that you're a bit of a nancy with needles.

You're right, the fact is, I have a bad time with them, I'm not the only one, it's not an unknown thing, needlephobia... and he should cator to that.

My missus was with him at the time and got mistaken for his mum.

These days the only things I'm poofy with is stuf that has to go into the vains for some reason, and the bits of tat that didn't go over the cream were fine too, it felt like someone dragging a hot sharp knife over my skin, rather than something pearcing. I actually found it facinating to watch, where as I can't watch any other kind of needle even on the telly.

Poor Gonz was mortified and wondered if she was going to punch the tattooist's lights out.

Then shove it up your arse to stop the bleeding.
Seriously - start keeping a record of their fuck ups and then write to the CEO of your local NHS Trust. The more information you can give them the more seriously they will take your complaint and adjust the standard of treatment you get.

But the last 4-5 times was with him, everyone else I sing praises about, I call them angels and heros and I'm not even exasorating, I'm a bit of a face around there in the respect that I always take time to talk to the staff and fellow patients, make them laugh and joke, and people recongise me even from pedratrics all these years on.
I'm not saying that in a "Look at me, I'm so good, they'll listen to me" way, but more in a way that I'm not being a fussy cunt, it's that _one_ bloke.
