I give all of them 3 tries then suggest gently that I’m running out of veins and am really keen to get treatment going. And after the 2nd failure I start scanning and making eye contact with my fav senior nurse(s) in the day oncology unit that I need saving soon ……such a pain sometimes but trying to give everyone a chance. Fortunately it’s the odd occasion only for contrast dyes for the odd scans and blood test these days. Phew.

When I was having chemo if nurse didn't get it first or 2nd try they called on their young expert straight away, sometimes before they tried.
