Collapsed Vein From Blood Draw Novels & Stories

The liquid slowly traveled through the catheter, entering Carla’s bloodstream. Everyone held their breath. Nothing. Five seconds. Nothing. Ten… nothing. Alexei felt his stomach sink, his hands clenching into fists. “Pavel…” “Wait. Give the body time.” Twenty seconds. Thirty. Nothing. Sasha ran his hand through his hair, his amber eyes fixed on Carla’s pale face. Susan remained motionless, her lips moving in a silent prayer. Then Igor leaned over the patient, his eyes widening. “Wait. Look at this.” Everyone moved closer. The small black branch near Carla’s collarbone was shrinking. Very slowly, almost imperceptibly, but shrinking, like ink being erased by an invisible eraser.

Elara pulled the rubber tourniquet tight above her left elbow. The pressure bloomed instantly. She picked up the sterilized butterfly needle, aligning the bevel with the prominent vein near her inner elbow. The steel pierced the skin. Dark red blood flowed into the vacuum tube. Alexander pushed open the glass laboratory door. He stopped on the threshold. His eyes dropped to the needle in her arm. "We have an entire medical wing equipped for blood draws." Elara swapped the filled tube for an empty one. "The medical wing logs all sample acquisitions to the central server. This needs to remain isolated."

“What do you want?” Blair pressed down on her shoulders to prevent her from getting up. “Donate 300ml of blood, or I’ll draw your grandpa’s blood. It’s your choice.” Mable froze. Blair threatened her to come back just so he could draw her blood? He looked at the time and repeated to the nurse, “Draw her blood!” The nurse moved quickly. Before Mable could react, a tourniquet was tied around her arm. The needle punctured her vein, and her dark red blood slowly flowed into a bag.

The doctor explained Hayden's current condition and said, "I'm hoping to get the massive transfusion done as soon as possible. Ms. Hope, if the test results are okay, will you come back the day after tomorrow? I hope to schedule the appointment for a blood draw at your earliest convenience." "Sure," Summer agreed without hesitation. "You'll lose a lot of blood at once, which is a heavy load on the body. After all, this is different from an ordinary blood draw," the doctor advised. "It's fine. I'm prepared," Summer replied. Summer could feel Harry's eyes on her during the conversation with the doctor. His gaze never left her. However, Summer refused to look at him. Summer spoke after the doct

And we both knew that. Theo motioned me toward the bed and I sat, settling my hands in my lap to hide the way they shook. The silver veins along my arms glowed steadily, not as bright as they had during the fight, but bright enough to remind me something inside me had not fully calmed. “This is the final setup,” Theo said, attaching the first tube to the machine. “Once we begin extraction, your blood volume will drop. After twenty minutes you will feel weak. After thirty, your body will strain. After that… the risk increases quickly.”

So was Sapphire. On the surgery bed, there was a pool of blood that formed under her. Thick, dark, dense blood pooled over her slim body. The pink doll-like dress on her had turned soaking-red due to the bleeding. The smell of blood and broccoli could be perceived in the emergency room. The surgery lights went on as the doctors and a couple of cardiologist performed full evaluation on her.

“C-Can I not… do the blood test…?” “This is Grandma’s order, Tina.” Samuel pressed Tina down on the chair impatiently. “Or do you like it more when I’m the one drawing blood from you?” If a doctor were to tend to Tina, it would be a normal blood-drawing procedure. But if Samuel was the one doing it, then she would most likely suffer a lot. In the end, Tina finally cooperated with the doctor and had her blood drawn. Her complexion still pale, she stood up from the chair with wobbly knees before collapsing to the side uncontrollably.

They always caught her again. She looked back at the trail of blood and frowned ‘That was an awful lot of blood from a tiny cannula wound.’ She thought as she sank into oblivion, she had torn the artery when she tugged out the cannula and if they did not stop the bleeding soon she would die.

"He may not have completed what he was trying to do." "Or he may have," the doctor said, not to me.... to the nurse beside him. "We can't assume." The IV was disconnected A new line went in on the other arm with the practiced efficiency of someone for whom this was a known procedure. Blood was drawn. I stood at the foot of the bed and watched and kept my hand at my stomach and breathed. The pain from the fall had settled into a dull, present ache.... not the sharp escalating kind, not the kind that had sent us to the hospital after the Zara confrontation. Present. Monitored.

He’s nodding his head slowly and I’m hoping that I have convinced him to allow it. “Now, I need the two of you to head next door. I need to gather some more things for the IV and blood draw. It’s easiest to do them at the same time.” I respond to Cole’s widening eyes. “I’m sorry to be a vampire so soon after meeting but we need to know the condition that you’re in. It’s still just one stick.” He drops his gaze without speaking. I can tell that he doesn’t like the idea of a blood draw but I need to take advantage of the situation.
