Aww thank you :) thats really sweet! Im sorry to hear you've been a witness to some particularly bad practices, it does happen unfortunately and yeah the poor guy was very new, (by some magic of the comic world i seem to always get them hahaha) i think its cause I'm nice and i dont mind them proding me to much so they can learn the job role. I'll betcha dollars to donuts that he hasnt made that mistake again! And yep, it wasnt the first time that had happened to me! By the way, im so sorry to hear about your mum and i hope her recovery and adjustment back in to life wasnt to brutal. Its always stressful having to adjust your life to incorporate your health in to everything. Thanks for messaging hun :)

Thank you! Unfortunately she passed away after one and a half year of struggle. The survival rate of pancreatic cancer is very low, the disease is still considered largely incurable. the one-year relative survival rate is 20%, and the five-year rate is 7% source. It's the same disease that Patrick Swayze had, he passed away one moth after my mom.
About these mistakes, I truly hope those who are not fit to perform these blood draws will realize that soon enough and take a step back so they don't torture anyone if necessary. :)

Oh im sorry hunny, pancreatic cancer is brutal from what ive heard. And yes some people just shouldn't be armed with needles haha x
