  • Hi Zippy,

    Yes, I have rubbish veins and when having blood tests end up with the nurse having two or three goes to get blood out. One nurse used a 'butterfly', which seems to be a tiny needle with 'wings 'on. It takes longer to get the blood out, but it works! I always ask for that now. Good luck for the operation. I found the whole thing easier than I expected. xxxx
