Hippyhair,
I haven't ever had a problem with blood draws since I started asking for a butterfly needle as I have veins that roll and collapse. I also get butterflys for minor surgical procedures such as blocks.
I suggest anyone that has problems with needle sticks for blood work or minor surgical procedures request a butterfly needle. I had major surgery on my left carotid artery and my IV was in the opposite side of my neck when I woke up.
I hope I answered you question and gave you some good info you can use.
