Re: The Finger Stick
Don't laugh but long ago I was a nursing student in Germany. We actually did not do a finger stick on a lot of patients but stuck them in the earlobe --> same amount of blood as the finger yet much less nerve endings. I can't get my nurses here convinced to do that but maybe you can. Hurts much less.
