I had a CT scan with contrast scheduled. The special drink was given to me 30 minutes late. My appointment was for 1:30, so now it would be 2:00 pm. At 2:20 I asked about my appointment time. The ladies at the front desk were very helpful. Turns out a tech lost my paperwork. It was after 2:30 before I was seen. The tech tried to draw blood 2 times. At both sites - one in right arm & one on left wrist - she wiggled the needle around trying to get blood. I never have an issue with blood draws. The left wrist HURT like crazy. I could not even hold a cup/glass that evening! Finally an RN came in and drew my blood from a vein in my left arm. She also started the IV. She was finished before I knew she started. PLEASE only let experienced medical staff start IV s. The tech obviously did not know what she was doing. As such, I suffered as she wiggled the needle around while it was in my arm! I still have bruising a week later in my wrist.
