I went to the doctors yesterday for a checkup and had to have my blood taken.
I am scared to death of needles so when the doctor said that I wanted to run out of there.
The lady comes in to do it and goes for my right arm...I told her that she wouldn't be able to get any from there because no one ever can and she insisted on trying there anyway.
After jabbing me a couple times she said "oh looks like you were right' (DUH!).
Then she moves onto my right hand and I KNEW she wouldn't be able to get any from there either....I was holding my left hand up and trying to tell her that she would have more luck with that one but the idiot wouldn't listen so she jabbed me a couple more times.
Finally she moved onto my left hand but had trouble finding the veign at first and I could feel her moving the needle around in there. By this point I was ready to go off on her and run out of the room with the needle still in my arm.
She finally got it and then I got my flu shot and left.
I felt sick to my stomach and like I was going to faint by the time it was all over.
Why do they always have to act like they know better than you?
Its my body, I have had blood taken before and I know that they won't be able to get it from certain places because I have "rollers".
Sorry.
