Not a medical professional and I look like this every time I end up cannulated in hospital. Mind you I’m in my mid 20’s and my veins are dog shit.

No surprises Trump has required intravenous treatment with his health the way it is. I have a boomer mate as well who is 4 years younger than Trump and he bruises just as nicely as this too. He also hates Trump with a passion.

Sounds right. I worked outpatient lab for 16 years, some days I did 40 IV starts. Folks with bad veins will always look like this unfortunately.

Correct. Hence why I try to avoid IV’s and bloods!

Even I can bruise similarly, and phlebotomists like me because my vein is super easy to find and insert a needle into.

Do you ever get people who like being poked?

Edit: For IVs or shots or something like that

Also I love your mate! Most if us despise him with a passion. They are NOT the majority!!!

No problem I just had to make the point because a lot of (biased Trump worshipping) media seems to put out that boomers love him. They even do it here in Australia where I live!
