Of those, 4 of the IVs left me bruised for a week + from ruptured vessels and of the 10 blood draws, I got ruptured vessels and the lovely bruising 4 times. I'd rather the machine do me up - I'm too confident in human error. From my personal experience, I’ve had about 6 IVs and 10 blood draws over the past 3 years.

They have individual judgment to deal with unusual situations (I'm one of those people with difficult veins to stab into), and usually are better conversationalists than a robot (I agree with Katey about the need for distraction).
