That could be the result of a less experienced phlebotomist (blood draw technician, vampire). I have extremely deep veins; they can't use my elbows anymore, so draws are usually from my hands, and I've had similar experiences to your husband's when the new kids are drawing my blood. Now I ask for specific techs I know, or if not available, the most experienced they have. It can make a HUGE difference in the whole experience, from the needle jab to after-bruising/hemorrhaging.
