I always have cold cold hands, and that makes my veins small. In order to get the vein to stand up for the team, I used those hand warmer packs tucked into my gloves when I went in for the MRI. as soon as she slid me into the machine, my hands raised up and touched the top of the machine!

I have learned to strip down, and not wear a thing in there.
