Patient was irritated from the moment I came in room. I tried to draw her blood. where I drew her from hurt her she pulled away. she was very irritated and was aggressive so I told her I would have someone else draw her. As I stopped to put my needle in the sharps she said I thought you were leaving. I turned to say I was putting my needle in the sharps. It didn 't go right in so I went to tap it in.
