I've been told that I have very nice veins, which I guess is a compliment. (Although if it was used as a pickup line, I would back away slowly) But once when I was getting a physical for I summer temp job that I got for between semesters, the nurse drawing blood did...something. I don't know what and I probably never will but I had a bruise on the inside of my arm starting just above my elbow down to almost touching my wrist. It covered the entire inside of my lower arm. Being the middle of summer, there was no possible way to hide it since I was working a warehouse job in a non-air conditioned warehouse. The bruise didn't completely fade away until mid-September, three weeks after the job ended. It was pretty spectacular though. I didn't know humans could be those colors.

Once when I was giving blood, I clotted up. The phlebotomist started twisting the needle trying to get me started again. She hit a nerve, I screamed, she yanked it out saying "Okay, we're DONE!" Every day for the next two weeks, my bruise was a different color...
