Don't let the nurses stick you.. ask for the Phlebotomist. :) These people spend every day doing sticks, and in my experience, they are a lot more skillful at getting a vein on the first try. You might have a little trouble getting them to come stick you, but it's worth it. Mac has a pretty good powder foundation that goes on amazingly thick, and is really good for coverups. I used it when I got a bad cut to the face. I think it's called "Studio Fix" If it's not enough, ask if they have concealer to go with it. As far as good places to stick, I've been stuck in the side of my ankle (Hurty!) my neck, my upper arm- which was weird, I didn't know at the time that that was even an option. Hands tend to bruise pretty badly if you mess up, but then again, the vein is right there.. so dunno. You can also get stuck right beside your groin... never done that one before. I'm not even sure that it's IV's that are causing your bruising .. if I'm way off, feel free to ignore me. [&:]
