I have no issues with them. I usually watch them go in....bit of morbid curiousity I guess.
Last year I had an IV (for an operation) in the back of my hand and that was a bit odd. I looked away but didn't feel anything more than a scratch. That is until I heard them say "Uhh, I can't exactly locate it....can you help me find it here" and they did it a few more times until they got what they were looking for. ![]() |

Reminds me of the time I was getting tested and somehow the lady kept missing my vein. She felt awful about having to switch arms after two failed attempts on the other. I was laughing but finally she gave up and had someone else do it because she was embarrassed.

I have issues with metal passing through my skin.
I did ok with my tattoo... besides the fact that it was like a prolonged cigarette burn and I had zero endorphin response. A couple of years back I had a little lab chick try to do a blood draw from the inside elbow and she had... trouble... finding the vein. Hear me now, lesser medical technicians... YOU DO NOT DIG UNDER THE SKIN WITH THE NEEDLE. This practice will get you nothing but a queasy, white-as-a-sheet, unpleasant patient. The actual phlebotomist was a real champ... jabbed that slippery little vein on the first strike. ![]() And unlike Gina, I have to watch. If I don't watch, I'll flinch when I feel the pricking sensation. It's a control thing.

My issue is with things going through my skin - and it's not rational. There's no explaining something that IS 'irrational'. It's not about the pain, it doesn't usually hurt. There's something more about it. the mere idea of something going through my skin...that is what freaks me right the fuck out.
AMJ - a nail? Have I got a story for you - one of my toenails FELL OFF last night - hows that for freaky?!

Ever since the military used me as a pin cushion, i've been good with needles, though they really didn't bug me before.
Something about walking down a line w/3 guys on each side with air powered syringes with the only instruction being "don't stop, and don't flinch" makes you figure it out. comonboys is a different story. she HATES needles. Hell, she even go queezy when we were vaccinating the cattle at my parnets! ![]() |

The only needles I hate are the novacaine shots nto the upper palate of my mouth. Oh, and those that go up in front of the teeth.
Shit fucking stings alot, and its unsettling.
