Venipuncture
Definition: Jamming a needle into someone's (another meddie's) arm and praying that you really hit a vein.
Puncturing a vein would result in haematoma (mine won't go away for a few weeks), an artery (a nice red fountain), a tendon (intense pain), the median, radial or ulnar nerve (loss of sensation/function or both)
Ignorance is bliss.
I felt strangely patriotic after that, because my arm ended up speckled in Malaysia's flag colours. Red, yellow, blue and white. 
Too bad we couldn't bring back vials of our own blood. That would have been cool. Ah well.
