Today I met a phlebotomist.

She was really nice and one of the better ones I've had in my life. When she inserted the needles and pulled it out, it hurt significantly less than previous experiences... I could smell the stench of cigarettes on her. It made me wonder if she questioned her health as she faced people who needed blood tests everyday.

Everyone has their thing, sure, but man. I don't know if I could do that if I was in healthcare. I feel like my clientele would be judging me hardcore.
