Do they charge extra with the use of uniforms ???

Not if the client wears them, allegedly.

I asked nursey what the name was for that foldy bit of your arm inside the elbow where blood gets taken from. SHe had no idea. Nor do I. 

Same applies to the area behind your knee.  And is there a name for the top of your foot (other than "top of your foot" obviously) 

[Uncle Mort]

Is it not the "crook" of your elbow/knee?

[Pirate]

I know where the taint skin is

Top of the foot is the instep

Pirate: you are wrong

Father was a shoe shop manager for most of his life ~ I promise you "Instep" is the top bit of the foot between the toes and the ankle. It is the bot where the shoe laces do up and hurts if you have the laces too tight.
The bit underneath the foot is the "Arch".

Pirate is right!


As is Uncle.

Nick is an mong! 

[Nick]

That can't be right  

[Uncle Mort]

However, nursey should know these things.

[Nick]

I said to her this morning that I always look away when someone is taking blood. SHe said that she does the same 

[Snoopy]

Why do they always say "Just a sharp scratch"?


It is no such thing. It is a sharp prick!

I'd even be happy if they just said "This may hurt a bit" ... at least that would be honest.

What if she said 'it's only a little prick'...?

That's just what your nursey says
