    I too have fragile veins, good idea.

    In the end in my case, they called on chemotherapy senior sister, I was in a big teaching hospital, her ward was one more floor up, she solved the problem and found a vein that worked for more than a few minutes, in fact it worked for about 2 days, very glad of that, had 13 other IV sites that had failed, they were starting to talk about a cut down to a much larger vein, as I was soooo de-hydrated, had a very bad reaction to morphine, (rare), and or hysterectomy, (equally rare).
