[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 352234, member: 1963"] husband used to volunteer as a "testing dummy" for Army medics in training. He had huge surface veins and even the clumsiest trainee could usually get a line in him. Far cry from years later when his veins were so blown out that he had a port installed. Me? I have lousy veins. I don't mind if a trainee works on me, I just want to know in advance so I can direct them as best I can. I know which veins are still good for IVs, and which are good for blood draws only. The digging around isn't fun, but I figure that if they can get a line in on me, it's a good start on their training and a confidence builder. [/QUOTE]
