with proper technique, the patient won't feel anything.

So no nurse or phlebotomist has ever used the proper technique on me in my entire life?

Quite possibly yes but I did clarify what I meant in my other replies and I edited the above reply because I clearly made a bunch of people upset and I didn't mean to. Your experience is absolutely valid.

I think people are down voting you because it's just not true for many / most people. Maybe you experience a very slight pinch, but that definitely isn't painless, and a lot of people experience way, way worse than that.

I agree it is painful for people but what I meant was that it shouldn't be. As a healthcare community, we need to do better
