Guilt about needle stick
The clinic I work at has the typical 2-poke rule for blood draws. Sometimes this ends with the patient being poked what feels like an excessive amount? I'm curious how other clinics handle this.
Today I had a cat in for an annual exam. We did 2 vaccines, a cysto, and it took 4 pokes to hit a vein..... Obviously it's not pleasant, I wouldn't like being poked 7 times in one day. I go home and I can't help but ruminate about these guys. I know this is something I'll have to deal with in the field sometimes, but I feel like it happens a lot where I work.
Tips on how you guys deal with guilt about anything work-related is appreciated.
