Re: Port or No Port?
For me the port was great - freaky looking but great. My veins are terrible. My last blood draw took 2 people and 2 tries each. And sometimes when they are "looking" around with the needle, it hurts. The last IV took using an ultrasound to guide them and they used a piece of thin metal or whatever to hold the vein open or some such disgusting thing. I will admit that I had the port removed as soon as I was told I could. I never needed the port flushed as it was used often enough not to need a flushing. If you have "bad" veins then a port is very useful.
