I was dreading having a cannula inserted in my arm yesterday, but the nurse did it without me even feeling anything! I was aware that she was cleaning the site with a swab and that was that! Im a complete baby when it comes to needles. Bless that nurse, Gina at Derriford Hospital, Plymouth.

you guys are really the best on the net hands down! It would be amazing if you guys would do a first aid series for medical students one day. That would be awesome with your clear style. ))
