Officially safe from vampires

Had to do yet another blood draw this morning. Hopefully this will be the one that lets me go back to work.

However, about halfway through the draw, the blood stopped. Seriously, the blood stopped coming out. The technician was quite perturbed, having never seen this happen before.

Guess I'm out of blood. (Drinks a Coke) Luckily, I have a ready substitute at hand.

I've usually got stubborn blood as well, but drinking coke can make it worse if it is due to hydration problems.

Just imagine how the tech would have felt if the blood crawled out of the tube after him.

Oh wait... You aren't *that* type of alien...

I've had the same problem myself. Has happened when I'm dehydrated, but also when my blood is clotting too quickly.
