Also are you having the blood work at just a dr.s office!?!?! Or are you going to have to have it at a "lab" or hospital!??! If it's at a hospital don't be afraid to ask for a nurse from the ER, or the NICU, they are usually better trained at inserting needles in "hard" patients. Remember it can't hurt to ask!!!!  |
To be honest, I have no idea what all will be done in the doctor's office. Being that I've never really been to the doctor here, except for a quick, "gimme meds, my back is out and I can't move" trip or 2 trips to the ER for an allergic reaction and a mammogram due to some bleeding several years ago, I just don't know. I know that a lot of things are different here in Holland than they are in the US, where I'm from, but I don't know just how different yet.
I do know the dentists do NOT have gas here and that sucks.
DH is laughing at me so he's not a whole lot of help either.
