Dear all.
We have the same problem with one of our patients and have found that emla-cream and an experienced phlebotomist/medic usually solves the problem. However, on one occasion we actually sedated her with diazepam.
Otherwise, would capillary blood from a fingerprick be of any use?
Kind regards
