If you drink a lot of water before you go it will be much easier for them to find a vein. Hydrate with only water, though or you may mess up some tests. Also, when you get there tell them you are a hard stick and are a little phobic about needles and ask for there best phlebotomist. Never let the nurses at the doctor's office stick you. Go to the lab to be stuck. A regular phlebotomist will be much better at drawing blood than a nurse since that is all they do each day.
