The feeling when they draw a blood sample from me is also less pleasant than a finger prick. Although I understand what you mean.

I stretch my elbow right after leaving the office. And then I wonder why I have such a big bruise on my arm. Once, they almost drew blood from my wrist. They pricked my arm once, no blood. Again, no blood. They got frustrated. They said it would hurt, but I didn't feel anything. And the needle was so thick, it was awful. But in private hospitals, they always do everything properly. We have a great network of testing centers here; I usually go there, and it's always a pleasant experience. Everything is quick, efficient, and they offer discounts (although I won't be getting any anymore since I'll be 25 next year). They even email the results, which is great.

Once, someone tried to stab me with a brush. They poked my hand once, no blood. Another time, no blood.

I know at least one spot on a brush where the amount of blood tends towards zero.

Well... if the nurse isn't an idiot, you won't even feel the blood being drawn from a vein.

That's true, I've encountered a couple of nurses who liked to poke around inside the vein with the needle at the end...

The only problem I have is always finding a vein.

Funny, I have the exact opposite situation - it's rare to find a nurse who isn't surprised by how big my vein is.

All my blood vessels are very clearly visible, but the veins are thin and cannot be felt, and on my right hand, they branch out even more.

Funny, I have the opposite situation – it’s rare to find a nurse who isn’t surprised by how large my vein is.

You have such a large vein!

Question: Where do you constantly donate your blood? The only time in my life I donated blood from a vein was in 10th grade. I donated blood from my finger this March when the doctor decided to run some tests for my cold, and before that, I last donated blood in the early 2000s. Revan is Ukrainian – okay, he pays taxes with blood, but where do you donate? Are you all cops here, regularly undergoing medical check-ups?
Also, this year, my finger was pricked with a lancet, not with those Soviet-era blades; I wouldn't exaggerate if I said I didn't feel anything at all. Even after twenty years, Russia has started using slightly more advanced medical instruments.

Yeah, inspections and all that.

Is everything here just trash?

Yeah, pretty much.

lol

Well, firstly, not only trash undergoes dispensary examinations, and secondly, not everyone here has perfect health.

Ah.

If you're going to the doctor for something other than a cold, they'll almost certainly send you for a blood test, so...

They practically drained my blood when my side started hurting. Remembering that my side had hurt twice before, and both times it ended with a trip to the hospital, I didn't delay and rushed to the doctors. After they took about three liters of my blood and checked me for all sorts of terrible things, they didn't say anything definitive, so I eventually gave up.
My side still hurts, by the way.

Which side are you on?

Right.
