The nurse/doctor probably used a dowsing rod to locate a blood vessel under all that fat.

They genuinely have to use ultrasound sometimes to find a vein in these ham hocks.
I had to give blood last year and the nurse actually laughed at my veins which are like ropes under my skin.

My company pays for on-site blood tests annually, and it's amazing how much cow-workers complain every year about how bad the tech is at finding a vein. Every year it's a different tech, every year they come out of the room saying the person had to try both arms in multiple spots, before they finally hit a vein. Then they all have bruises inside their elbows for a week. Meanwhile, it's always one try on my arm, they hit oil, and I end up with a tiny hole that's gone by the next day.
I just don't understand how you can have a half inch of solid fat over your veins, making them totally obscured, and expect some guy to just get lucky on his first try.

I do that shit for a living. I fucking hate drawing blood from fats.
See that needle they're using? That's not the needle you use in a routine draw from the arm.
This phleb was going in on a hope and a prayer and somehow got lucky.
