The way he’s not wearing gloves and holding down the actual needle… no. Just no.

[@Jaffrime]

That was exactly what I was just thinking. Use some gloves. Yuck.

[@torifaery]

Came here to say this!!!! #hemeoncnurse

[@ninjitsui]

Not wearing gloves, not going to do it, that is not right.

[@electronicfreak1111]

We usually don’t wear gloves in Australia just a little fact

As a certified phlebotomist I do not accept this ew no glove holding the needle?!? Tourniquet is left on way to long

My thoughts exactly!

[@fshs6187]

Same! Phlebotomist too!

[@bettystouffer6012]

Thank you for speaking up I totally agree!!! Also I've never seen anyone contaminate the needle by holding down the back end. 👀👀👀

[@thomasagsmith123]

Wrong order or draw too

[@brookiebrooke928]

I had my blood drawn today. The vacutainer couldn’t “suck” my blood out. They moved the needle around and in and out while I started to sweat and turned white until I told them I was going to pass out. Don’t watch when they draw your blood 😰

[@Imnotcrabby]

For your safety, the person was not in your vein if the blood wasn’t flowing. Don’t let them “fish” for the vein, it’s not always going to happen but depending on what vein they are using they could hit a nerve and cause damage. You can always request a new person, if the first person is not get it.

[@Gerard-oo8os]

This happened to me too. The horror I felt when the guy was going in and out with the needle. It looked like he was felting on my arm.

[@Tallyblue]

That happened to me but she was having trouble putting in an iv

[@eve_11.11]

I grew up getting blood work as a sickly child and love to see the needle go in. It helps me prepare myself. It does hurt when they fish around but I understand that im a very hard poke and my veins literally roll and disappear so I always tell them to do whatever they can and what they're comfortable with. All my nurses love me haha. The easiest place to get my blood is actually on my hands. Some nurses hate to try it but I've never had a problem there. Though it is a smaller area to work with.

[@missylou82]

I have to watch them. I want make sure, they take my blood.

[@artisbipinson9158]

Also helps to be hydrated

[@nicholaswright3773]

Glad someone asked that question. I was having blood taken other day was thinking the same!

[@barbarabueno81]

WHY IN THE HELL ISN'T THAT PERSON WEARING GLOVES?

[@starkhalessi0000]

And if you do it incorrectly you have destroyed the blood called hemolysis. Where it actually ruptures the red blood cell

[@alk219]

Can you tell me why the person extracting blood doesn't wear a glove??!?! Like a vampire too? 😅 Vampires - Don't wear gloves and don't brush their teeth when they bite their victim's neck 🤣🤣🤣

[@michelemccracken62]

Ok, where's the gloves man??!!

[@Jahwigga]

I got blood work done so many times as a kid I used to tell the nurses exactly where the vein was and they would listen even the ones that saw me for the first time😂

[@dharmvirbains8413]

that’s why I feel a lot of pain 😭

[@mywallyworld1]

I remember before they had this..they used to have to make multiply jabs with different needles..this invention was a medical game changer

[@isaacamillw1772]

I've been to the blood people sooo many times, and, I'm still very young. Besides that, i do call them vampires. I say, "i went to the vampire, The vampires sucked my blood, the gosh dang vampire bruised me"

[@Ravensparrow77]

I'm more worried about the tech not wearing gloves

[@huskydadtokoda]

I learned the hard way.. if you're dehydrated your blood will be really thick and might not flow through the needle quickly. It will take A LOT longer to fill the tubes so drink plenty of fluids before getting bloodwork done 💦

[@ollipoytakangas]

Have had many blood tests and didn't know that. Thanks.

[@lauragf5043]

I am phlebotomist in Scandinavia and we dont use gloves for maaany years. We desinfect just before and after the process. And i ve never hear of any infection or any bad stuff. For us wearing gloves is for other things. The ring, of course, is a big NOOOO.

[@ladydread5838]

Now imagine your blood moves fast enough to cause it to "froth" in the vial 😅...makes the nurses nauseous everytime 😂.

[@theuniversalbean9352]

I always assumed that was dissolved gases coming out of solution due to being in a lower pressure environment... What do you think?

[@ladydread5838]

@@theuniversalbean9352 nah...if you seen it you would know. That was actually my husband's guess when we first got together and later he got to see for himself too and he had the Pikachu surprise face 😂. Even when I bleed it's really, really fast and freaks everyone out. Doctors always make sure to tell me after surgeries about how thin and fast my blood is 😂🤣.

[@alexanzevino3389]

Thank you doctor Ricky

[@Frogboy884]

I honestly thought it was the pressure

[@IAmUser420LV]

Having a rare genetic condition ive had this happen to me a lot. Back in school my AP psychology teacher was going around with the myth that your blood was blue before it was oxygenated, needless to say we had a huge pissing contenst where she tried to belittle me for being younger. Her, not knowing how many vacuseal containers ive filled in my life, was dumbfounded that she was indeed incorrect

[@lisarudrud8176]

Pls do a TW at the start next time

[@jessica.Blue777]

I could hear my blood hitting the back and that sent me to the floor 😂

[@cumali6187]

Vacutainer tube, with vacuum..that's why when you push it aspirating the blood...I dont like the way he's holding the needle...it can cause hematoma...and why he is not wearing gloves? And why he’s not letting the blood to stop before removing it ? That’s why they always send us short sample 🙄

[@myamyaw772]

This is my favourite type of blood collection method... They don't hurt at all.

[@mistorbear]

[@nightlyrowentree6047]

And then u have my veins and it didn't WOrk very well in 1 arm 😂

[@NarutoUzumaki-vc4wy]

The ability to find that vein is more fascinating to me

[@iss_rey5045]

Vaccuette tubes are cool imo. They’re sealed at negative pressures that suck out specific volumes depending on the tube capacity and application :D

[@healandgrow6131]

Yeh i am a phlebotomist so this was so regular for me But yes he is right the tube and the device is designed with suction u wont feel it but it helps us to so we dont have to maunally keep moving the needle nd it saves time hehe If you are dehydrated please drink water before coming for a blood draw I love what i do ❤

[@Alice12369]

It's why everytime I get blood taken I call them vampires lol

[@HG-ol1tq]

I hate being pricked but I like seeing the tube fill with blood.

[@Rimuru-ray]

I had my blood drawn today, and I didn't watch not because I didn't want to see the blood taken out, but because I was anticipating the needle being put into my arm and the pain, but as soon as I saw the blood being taken out in this video, I immediately started feeling a pain in my arm where I had the needle.

[@LauraVillasenor-bf8ni]

Never draw blood without gloves. Don't contaminate the needle either. 😤

[@TashaK.]

The real question is “why isn’t that person using gloves and why is holding the needle instead of the hub?

[@TheCuteCoreArtistLol]

Pretty Blood Be Like💀💀💀

[@ginatyra8451]

More important question is why is he not wearing gloves?

[@geoffreycalligan9438]

Vacuum tubes. It's a simple concept

[@Swiftie13love]

Am I THR ONLY ONE CRYING RN?

[@A1Kira]

I hate when they do this. Last time they used a big needle and it left a mark that’s still on me.

[@scarlett2604]

I just screamed my pants off watching this! I have a blood test tomorrow 😅😅

[@angelastanley8365]

I'm wondering why he's not wearing gloves?

[@rhondahossain9606]

Gloves?!??!!

[@Nickantor217]

Why does blood clot in the tube.. I had a blood draw once and they couldn’t get a smooth pull. It kept clotting in the bags they were trying to fill.

[@ashley.2016]

Some blood is supposed to clot in the tubes but sometimes if the draw is taking to long the blood will clot then you have to start over again

[@eenamonsod981]

This made me miss my old job. Lol. 😅

[@cma3782]

I almost fainted watching this I’m terrified of needles and blood

[@theuniversalbean9352]

This person is great at their job

[@Kidddas]

Without gloves?

[@theuniversalbean9352]

​@@Kidddasgloves or not, that's up to the SOP of the hospital/clinic, but you see how easily and quickly they get into the vein and begin drawing? Takes a few years of practice to be that confident

[@kelbyblaske54]

The blood is pouring out like that because of the way the tube and needle is designed as well as, gravity acting on it.

[@audrey2047]

I wish they would do this for vericose veins .

[@kevOzilla]

Looks like that person has thin blood also

[@nkoyondiokho4027]

....and it's the biggest artery in the leg, the turnique has compressed it so the blood is ready to jump out too.

[@jackiejames2527]

What is slow growing cancer called

[@pokemami]

OMG I had a nurse tell me I must have high blood pressure because my blood came out that fast and that I really need to have it checked out. I had just had my blood pressure taken and it wasn't high. I've always been terrified I'm going to just silently stroke out since that day and monitor my normal blood pressure constantly. What a b. I've been crazy paranoid for 10 years. I also had another nurse at the same obgyn/midwife practice tell me, that my blood was really thick and I needed to drink more water. This was immediately after she told me how easy it was to find my vein because I must stay pretty hydrated. She like took it back. I asked my midwife about what she had said and she just blew off my question like the nurse did not just say that to me.

[@sunday.mourning]

For the second one, you might have eaten something heavy or fatty earlier. You probably were hydrated, but fats get absorbed into the blood and can make it harder to draw blood

[@_wayward_494]

Lmfao why are you acting like it was a personal attack tf?

[@mikaroni_roo]

Ahhh that’s cool. I have to have labs done for my hypothyroid and I always wondered how it did that

[@kennethkisamore-du3nr]

Blood pushes out to equal the pressure

[@peggyhenke211]

I call the people that take blood vampires

[@bradleymiller437]

I have no patience for patient's lack of knowledge.

[@CHINAA718]

Why do they use so many tubes when drawing blood?

[@mannicqueen]

my question is why do some tubes have what looks like Vaseline in them?

[@ashley.2016]

That’s called a serum separator. It basically separates serum from the blood when in a spinner. Once you take it out the gel is in between the serum and the blood .

[@alphaandliarize]

As a pension administrator that is a no no because dude’s not wearing gloves. I would use syringe like a normal injection

[@cheffymama9632]

Why are they touching the needle and not wearing gloves. I feel like that’s the more important questions

[@Tylwaa]

This video jogged an old memory from when I was in the USN during Vietnam. I had to undergo surgery and the day before they wanted to draw blood. Simple right? Not for the USN! The young corpsman poked and poked my left arm over 8 times and collapsed my veins. THEN he went to the right arm and on the seventh stick I yelled "STOP!" He'd collapsed those veins. I screamed at him "WHAT ARE YOU DOING? Haven't you ever done this before??" His answer "Well not on a human, I've done oranges though@" OH MY GOD Help!!!

[@rafagonzalez7494]

I used to get blood exams with a syringe, and the first time they do me.with a vacuum tube, I almost passed out. I was shocked to see my blood sucked out of me that fast

[@Helloooo-s2y]

I think this is the reason why I am all ways scared on blood work..😢

Where. Are. Your. GLOVES?!

[@you.3158]

IT HURTS LIKE HELL😭😭 NORMAL NEEDLE DONT HURT THAT MUCH

[@japanders]

Unless we draw from your artery. Then we have a vented syringe and just let your blood pressure push blood up the needle to fill the syringe. It’s neat to see but way less fun to have done.

[@awalkingholiday403]

So that's how vampire fangs work is what your telling me

Im in nursing school and tomorrow is my first pediatric clinical rotation and im nervous as hell. Adults are so easy but i feel like im this big scary man in front of small patients.

[@Dont_stay_long_k077]

Prefer Eliizebeth Holm's way 😂

[@betrayal6231]

This is the big difference between venipuncture/starting an IV as a nurse vs as a provider. The nurse will find a normal vein, wear gloves, and you won’t get an infection. The provider finds the big elbow crease pipe, no gloves it, and infects the client with staph because coincidentally they also didn’t wash their hands
