The nurse, Angela, heard me when I told her it is hard to get a needle into my veins- they are little and roll. After spending time looking for the right vein, she didn't try to puncture me. Instead Angela called Amina. Amina was able to do it after taking substantial time to find the right vein.
This is in stark contrast to a blood draw in January for my annual exam. At an unrelated lab, to get my blood, it took three different technicians and 4 punctures with their needles. One tech said she “blew the vein" and left me with a hematoma. This is the usual experience I have.
At Digestive Health, however, Amina did the successful insertion of the needle without hurting me to hook up the IV bag. then she cautioned the anesthesiologist Lana, about my veins. All of them listened, did not hurt me and the procedure was successful.
I was comfortable with and trusted the physician, Dr. Verna Kumaravel and will seek medical care from her in the future.
I am very grateful for the care these medical professionals took, and their great communication skills.
I wish I could have these nurses, doctor and receptionist for every medical procedure I have !
Thank you all.
