Once I had to draw on an intravenous drug user and what happens when they do that frequently enough is that all of their veins that they can reach end up being covered in scar tissue. So this man had horrible veins and he even like they looked amazing like some men are just covered in bulgy veins. That's how he was, but as soon as I walked in he's like good luck and I found out really quickly that it's really hard to get anything out of those veins and for him we needed a blood culture so it was more than just the tiny vials you're used to seeing and I ended up not being able to get him and one of my colleagues was able to get it but the vein that she had to use was in the back of his calf.
