When I was under going chemo and the normal nurses couldn't get a vein for blood work after three sticks, they brought in a man they called the "Vein Whisperer" and he did this very thing. It was surprising and felt weird AF but worked beautifully. I've told lots of nurse and doctors about that and no one knew what the heck I was describing. Thanks to the poster so now I have proof and a name. Also he did it with a syringe.

Did they not install a port?

I never got a port or a picc as this was considered an emergency with vena cava syndrome.
