Kids: Fear

Fear

By wimp - 15/08/2009 17:06 - United States

Today, while I was at the doctor's, they told me that my son and I needed a shot, I went first to show my son that it wouldn't hurt and that shots were not something to be afraid of. When they gave me mine, I started crying. My four year-old son handles pain better than his 29 year-old mom. FML

Today, I had to give a 63 year old man a shot. He started bawling before I even brought out the needle. I tried to get him calm down. Then he grabbed the needle, threw it at me and ran out the door. FML

Today, I went to the doctor to get a blood test and I started crying when I saw the needle. I planned on becoming a doctor. FML

Panic!

Today, I was at the doctor and I had to get a fingerstick in the lab to get blood drawn. There was a 6 year-old boy waiting to go next. He was terrified. His mother told him to, "Watch this brave girl go first." I panicked and began to hyperventilate. The kid fainted. FML

Today, I tried to get over my childhood phobia of syringes by donating blood. The phlebotomist hadn't even touched the needle before I started sobbing hysterically. They made me leave. FML

Today, I had to get bloodwork done. I'm deathly afraid of needles. The whole lobby heard me scream as soon as the nurse said 'hello'. FML

Today, I went to get my blood drawn for the first time. After I explained to the nurse how nervous I was, she replied, "Oh honey, don't worry! This is my first time too!" FML

Today, my 18-year old son decided to run his hand over our wooden fence to try and get a splinter, as he "forgot what they felt like." Last month, he stabbed himself in the arm with a sewing needle because he "forgot what an injection feels like." I raised this idiot. FML

Today, I couldn't prove my son has had chickenpox, so his school gave us the option of getting a potentially dangerous shot he didn't need, pay for an expensive blood test to show that he previously had the virus, or sign a waiver stating I'm a religious nut refusing medical treatment. FML

Lol, that's not even that bad, I find it to be pretty funny. IMO, shots aren't that bad.

I don't blame you. I freak out so much when I need shots.

I freak out at shots too. I had to be held down for my shots last month. They had all 29 nurses and 2 doctors in the room holding me down

I don't see what's so terrible about shots. I mean, it's kind of weird feeling it go in (if you can, some people can't) but it doesn't actually hurt. I've never cried at shots in my life. I used to dread it beforehand but I always left thinking, 'that wasn't bad. what was I worried about?' Until the muscle pain in your arm kicks in >:] But that's not until afterwards and that's not what people cry about. And it's not so bad. So if we withstand headaches, colds, and period pains if you're female, why can't some people withstand a shot? I don't get it :| I have another jab coming up (part of the HPV immunisation) and I'm not worried about it :S But everyone's different, I guess. :)

How could you have had a child but cry at needles? I think having my vag torn apart would hurt a lot more than a tiny hypoderm entering my shoulder.

C-section? I dunno... shots hurt me like crap. I'm fifteen, and I still cry every time I have to get one LOL. The doctors are usually fine about it, except one bitch who told me to "be a big girl." HATE pediatricians... But yeah, OP, I'd be more sympathetic if you knew your grammar. Sorry, I know it sounds harsh, but that's how it works.
