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

OH! Man, I hope you're ok. How the hell do you mistake a tendon for a vein? Veins are clearly a very different color from tendons. If you have dark skin or your veins aren't that visible then I can understand a bit better. Like I said, I hope you're ok and you don't have to go through something like this again. Hope this doesn't stop you from donating blood again in the future. Try asking for a more experienced nurse next time. I believe you can do that in most places.

Dude your an ass. Its just some nurse that had no idea what she was doing. Not his fault. Personally I don't give blood for fear of having some inexperianced nurse like this poor guy did.

You're retarded, they're very easily mistaken. Especially for an inexperienced person. The difeerence is that tendons are bigger, and brighter in color.

I feel your pain! I have very dep veins & quite often get treated like a pin cushion because some inexperienced nurse doesn't know how to take blood from me. FYL

You know legally they're only allowed to poke you like once or twice for each arm right?
