as guinea pigs. At the close of one shift, I was working with a new MA. Her patient was an ex-Marine with more muscles than Captain America. After her fourth attempt to poke his vein to draw blood, the man’s wife became hysterical and demanded the girl find someone who “knew what they were doing.” Frustrated and near tears herself, the MA grabbed me, explaining the man’s veins were unusually thin and kept rolling.
