There is a definite level of skill and experience that is required to draw blood from children. Unfortunately, not all Nurses or practitioners in the system have achieved that level. We have seen both ends of the spectrum with our kids and you did the right thing to put a stop to the process when you did.
The nurse should have offered someone else with more experience instead of copping an attitude. I would not hesitate to ask for someone else to try when you go back. Don't let them make you think that it is something that you or your son are causing, they should be able to handle it.
