No, you want experienced every time, especially if you don't have tree roots for veins. Paid for college by drawing blood, but still remember the first stick....hit a tendon and had to peal the guy off the ceiling; but I did get a lot better. Pay back came many years later when I was donating blood. The team was a reserve team out of Ft Bliss, the gal drawing was missing the veins (I have decent veins too!), couldn't get good flow, was just a mess. I finally asked, "what do you do for a living when not doing reserve time," trying to calm her down, "oh" she said, "I fix TVs"! Heavy sigh....
