Damn there's some angry people in here over nothing. Guys overweight as are most of the fat cats in DC. I bet he went back to the WH and celebrated with two scoops of chocolate ice cream while the staff was only allowed one scoop of vanilla. :cool:. What a country. An estimated 160 million Americans are either obese or overweight. Nearly three-quarters of American men and more than 60% of women are obese or overweight.

Ok makes sense. Like I said I’ve never had an R.N. draw blood on me.

Also wife was in the ER recently and it’s always a struggle to hit a vein on her. Two paramedics and two floor techs tried for almost an hour. The phlebotomist comes in... BAM first try. She looked like a pit bull had gotten ahold of her on her arms and hands.

When I had mononucleosis about 50 years ago, I wound up in the hospital for 8 days. They drew blood often.

One day, a young nurse came in made an attempt at drawing my blood. I was 6'1' and weighed about 160-165 pounds because I had been sick for several days. I'm saying this to show that my veins weren't hidden under layers of fat. They were visible. Anyway, nurse #1 tries and fails and leaves the room. In a few minutes, nurse #1 returns, and fails at a second attempt to hit a vein, but she did poke the needle in what felt like the same hole. Nurse #1 leaves, not to be seen again.

Nurse #2 enters the room a few minutes later, and she looks old enough to be nurse #1's grandmother. I start to feel a little more positive, imagining she probably drew blood out of Abraham Lincoln or at least Woodrow Wilson, and thousands since. So, nurse #2 inserts the needle into what feels like the same dry hole that nurse #1 hit twice. By this time, I am hurting pretty bad in the left arm on the inside of the elbow. So, I get out of my bed, grab the rolling stand beside my bed and head for the nurses' station to complain, and tell them to please send someone who could draw my blood because I was sick and getting really tired of this crap.

A few minutes pass, and a man who was the head of the lab comes to the room, pops the needle in my arm, draws the blood and leaves. I am feeling really sore in the left arm, but very relieved that it's over. Unfortunately, it wasn't over. An hour or so later, the man from the lab walks back in the room, and says "you aren't going to believe this, but they dropped your sample and broke it." He poked me for the 5th time in a couple of hours in or near the same spot, hit the vein and left. It was over. I have had blood taken several times, both before and since, and that is the only time that anybody had a problem. My arm was very sore and painful for about 2 months afterward.

Oh no you don’t. You fired the first assertion and never proved it and did the soft sell 100% chance statement. You don’t get to project that burden on me you own it!

And still with the as homs cause you got no juice!

Wow man. How many times does it need to be pointed out to you that it was clearly stated as hyperbole? Do you know what that word means?

I don't want to believe you are this incapable of presenting a cogent argument and I certainly don't want to personally insult your inability to make even basic comprehension observations but...damn. Basic stuff man, keep up.

President Donald Trump made a trip to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, as White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham put it, to “begin portions of his routine annual physical exam” on Saturday. But there are indications the trip wasn’t as routine as the White House would have the public believe.

The stress of impeachment is getting to him. His sludge filled, black heart can't handle it.

You liberals have said he didn't have a heart.

He'll be fine.

Sounds like you’d preferred a nurse not have drawn your blood. They do many things and do them well. The lab tech does ONE thing and does it very very well.

I have had other nurses draw blood without a problem. I would rather not have had those 2 nurses draw blood.

Interesting. Out of curiosity was it somehow venue or geography? Like rural hospital or dr office where the nurse did everything? Was it more in the past than current times? I’m 55 and at least for my adult life I cannot remember an R.N. ever drawing blood. They are obviously trained to do so tho I know.

In 1971, when I had mono, and all the vein sticks were in the hospital. Now, I go to a cash medical clinic (even though I have Medicare and a supplemental policy), and a nurse draws blood. So, the hospital thing may have just been the way they did it 50 years ago, and the more recent ones may be the rural Dr. office where the nurse does everything, except the doctor consultation.

Can you provide proof they keep techs on staff at WHMU? I didn’t see any mentioned in the link and I even said that didn’t prove it. You’re coming with a pretty big oversell on “100% proof” in reply. And you’ve already admitted that most likely the blood was sent out for analysis. So they keep a lab tech cleared and having courier certs also just for this? Maybe. Seems like overkill to me.

Would POTUS get vaccines and other first hand treatment at WHMU? Absolutely. Does that mean that support diagnostics are also maintained to facilitate that treatment on site? Nope.

Oh and the LAST damn person I’d want trying to draw blood from me would be a damn MD

So now you’re an expert on WHMU? You don’t reply to my post on that other thread? Can’t stand being wrong?

Fox NonNews Assertion. POTUS went in for an emergency DNA. They found he was pure stool that extinct Atlantis society of pathological liars and draft dodgers.
