Today, I accidentally asked a one-armed man which arm he wanted me to take blood from. He asked for a different nurse. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, as a nursing student, I needed to take a blood sample from someone and the veins on his arms weren't really easy to draw blood from. I asked him, "Can I please look at your legs?" It turns out he was amputated. FML
Today, I decided to give blood for the second time. I felt excrutiating pain when she stuck the needle in my arm. Another nurse came running over in a panic. Apparently my inexperienced nurse had put it in my tendon instead of my vein. FML
Today, I went for bloodwork. It's routine for me, so I was ready for the nurse to put in the needle and take my blood. It went in fine, but right after, she slowly pulled the needle out, then wondered why the blood stopped. She then moved it back and forth in my arm while I panicked silently. FML
Today, I went to a blood drive. The nurse taking my blood mentioned that she'd been called in on her day off, and she swore she wasn't drunk. I didn't know what to do, so I just smiled and blinked back tears as she savaged the vein in my arm. FML
Today, I went to get my blood drawn to see how far along I am pregnant. The lady stuck both my arms twice and then busted a vein in my right arm. She told me to come back tomorrow to try again. FML
Today, while volunteering to feed the homeless, one of them asked me to follow him to his car where he had a knife and bottle so he could "bottle up my blood". FML
Today, I finally went to have blood taken for an allergy test I really need. Afterwards, I had an allergic reaction to the bandaid they used on my arm. FML
Today, I gave blood. He sneezed while he stuck the needle in my arm. FML
Today, I went to donate blood for the first time. When they stuck the needle in my arm, I had a panic attack and begged that they take it out. The woman helping me told me she'd take it out in a moment and left. It was then that the Red Cross stole a pint of my blood while I had a panic attack. FML
Today, I got my annual blood test. The nurse was inexperienced and it took her several tries to insert the needle properly. When I get back home, my fiancé starts yelling at me and storms out. The reason? I am a recovering drug addict and my arm appeared as if I had been shooting up. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Hey, if you say the same thing to every single person for your job, it's going to be a habit, and bypass logic as the rehearsed speech comes out on autopilot.

@25 He's 14 with his cell phone number on his profile page (yes I looked) so he has a lot to learn. And nice xkcd pic. Love that one.

He may have just been kidding? One of my best friend's only has one arm, and he's always joking about it and trying to make people feel bad when they accidentally say something like "So, which hand do you write with?"

hehe that reminds me of the cute guy in munitions. He lost his left arm, and someone said, 'well at least you have your right hand' and he says 'Yeah, but I'm left handed!' (Side note: How does one covertly determine the marital status of a cute guy with no left hand?)

I sure hope he asked for a different nurse, I wouldn't want someone who has your life in their hands that couldn't even notice a very noticeable detail

She didn't have his life in her hands. It was just a blood test.

seems like an honest mistake and that he took it too personally. isn't really an FML in my opinion.
