God no, you'd never do that unless it was clinically indicated, the risks outweigh the benefits of practising! No I had one for suspected meningitis. I also remember ABGs not hurting, but that may be because I hurt everywhere else, that said, I'm not going to let anyone try on me!
I'm quite weird in that most people dont like the needles in blood tests, I have no issues with the needles, what I cant stand is the feeling when you press on it after the needle comes out! Very odd I know!!
