I hate ER Staff who aren't good with needles

I sometimes feel so many things at once I end up like an operating system that just crash. We were at the ER one morning that time I had *tooooot - insert medical condition here*. I was already feeling stressed for few weeks because of work pressure and all these "where are you headed with your career" plan I'm expected to know being in the IT service industry for years. 
I was in pain and asked the doctor to IV me something that would make it go away. And like what always happens, I get someone who doesn't know how to work the needle into a persons bulging vein. My veins are very visible! I tell you. It's far more defined than my future!  Damn ER person pushed it, lost her way, WIGGLED the fuckin  needle a bit, pulled it out, then attempted to get it in again. This sounded like one of those awful sexual encounters people post on the Internet. I was already in pain! Why in the world would you add more?! 
She was kind enough to call the other nurse to help out. 
But by the time they left me, my tears were already pulling a Tinuy-an falls. I don't usually cry in public. Behind ER curtains was still public to me. I was a mess! Good thing having a husband on events like these otherwise I would just look miserable crying because of pointy ouchie! 
On a normal day, I would judge a person fretting over needle pain (yes Boss, I'm judging you lol). I'm judging my ER patient self now. But I don't know, seems like recently I've been struggling with so many question I do not have answer to, so I just push them to the side but can't make them completely go away. 
They just build up and explode the moment these feelings get a chance. Which it did at that ER. I was so emotional, they were immediately reminded of the protocol of testing if patent was pregnant even though I told them I just tested negative literally day before while at a family clinic for that same thing. 

Next topic of randomness - I looooveee the lumpia toge Mina brought today! I love the sawsawan too! Ugghhhhh
