Don't worry Dill. I feel for you. sadly the Nurses/Doctors who took away my blood, I swear to God if they actually kept all the blood they took from me they could have filled three of me! I was a sickly child. Anyway! As I was saying, the Doctors and Nurses who took my blood always wiggled the needle or missed the vein all together.
One nurse was so mean that she told me that she would make my mom leave if I didn't buck up. I was 8... and let's just say that nurse got a tongue lashing from my mother. It made me feel better.
I've got huge veins too, not that that stopped some of those nurses from making it hurt. I think that it mainly has to do with skill. And that rubber tubing, of course.
I hate needles, ever since one of the nurses broke the vial after drawing blood. I feel for you, N7.
Last time I had injections, I had them in both arms at the same time, so I couldn't lift anything at all for the rest of the day.
I like Dr. V.'s method. He seems like he's really good at working with kids.
(About the Fiddy/Blade joke, that kind of fell flat on its face - I was wondering why Fiddy would be fighting werewolves, and that was the first thing that came into my head.)
Grumblit (the v-word system just loves me, doesn't it?) - a well-meaning but curmudgeonly fellow. Studies have shown it's impossible to be a grumblit under the age of fifty.
I just noticed how many people hated Dr. V at first because of how he was treating Dill. I read it and I guess my inner (and outer?) scientist just went "Yep, typical way to conduct an experiment" and it didn't bother me in the slightest. Now I feel that I'm heartless. :(
I also guess I'm kind of a masochist. I don't mind needles at all, and actually really like giving blood and stuff. >.>
I've always gotten told I have "good veins" but I'll still get nauseous/light-headed if you get near me with a needle. I've felt like doing what Dill just did. Poor kid. And I LIKE the Doctor...he's almost like a "Jekyll" to Grandfather's crotchety old "Hyde."

PETER AND THE VAMPIRES is a horror/comedy web novel (and a free podcast!)about a normal, 10-year-old kid who moves into a sinister town filled with supernatural horribleness. The series is composed of different "monster of the week" stories - kind of like THE X-FILES crossed with THE SIMPSONS (if Mr. Burns were a ghoul and something terrifying lived in the town dump). "Peter And The Dead Men" is the first story in the collection. A new page is posted every day.

I thought that was buttercups, rather than dandelions. But I only cared who liked butter in contrast to who liked margarine.
Poor Dill, I guess he really doesn't like needles. With luck he shouldn't have a headache when he wakes up.
Guess I got lucky with blood drawing, they always told me they could drive a truck thru my veins.

N7 -
I'm glad your mom chewed out that nurse! The nerve!
todd -
Buttercups? Really? Maybe it was just because we had way more dandelions than buttercups...

You are SUPER lucky. I sometimes have to have them stick me 4 or 5 times before they hit the vein.
Um the Muse -
EWWWW! Broke the tubing! EWWWW!
