Question: When you get your blood drawn whats the common gauge?. butterfly?
... is it called a butterfly? whats the normal gauge? 28..27..26..25..22? I have veins that are hard to hit and I forget to ask the Phebotomist what gauge she uses. I was told that i should only have the phebo ONLY hit me on a certain vein...but i need to know the gauge for people like me! thanks!
Answers:
All you have to say is that you're hard to stick-- they'll work it out regardless, though. They don't usually have a range of gauges available for doing blood tests.
My veins are usually hard for them to find and they use a butterfly needle.
