Some tricks:
1) have the phlebotomist use a butterfly needle on small veins. It makes a big difference. I also give out of the hand as I have one vein that works sometimes. 2) If you inflate a blood pressure cuff on that arm instead of that stupid rubber band thingy, it often pops the vein better. 3) some places have the new machine that scans for veins. http://www.accuvein.com/ There are some other tricks on this site: http://www.phlebotomypages.com/exper...m#.T47jdNnPzPM Being well hydrated makes the process easier.
