  • So I worked at a plasma donation center and in a hospital. I will tell you that the training at the place I was at was very brief and you are somewhat practice for many new phlebotomists. I will also say I cared for at least two patients that were hospitalized after people missed their sticks at the donation centers and the patients had huge vascular issues after that.

    That being said many people do it and it turns out just fine. It’s easy money if you can tolerate it. But I would not recommend it, as it can eventually cause scarring to your veins and it may be difficult to start an IV when you are older and actually really need that access site.

    I’m sorry to hear that; I hope everything turns out alright.

    I guess it depends on their type of humor. I don’t have memes, but I know a few dad jokes.

    Did you hear about that other guy that got all of those toy horses stuck up his rectum? …Don’t worry, they’re saying his condition is stable

    Have you seen that movie called Constipation? …It still hasn’t come out.

    Sorry, I have this illness that I make airplane puns. …Doctors say it’s terminal

    Speaking of doctors, do you know what kind of doctor that Dr Pepper is? …A fizz-ician
