Today, I had my blood drawn for a lab test. I was then given a container so I could give a urine sample. In the middle of peeing, I got woozy, started blacking out, and hit my head against the wall. A nurse discovered me with my pants down. FML

So...A little back story. I went to the doctor to get tests because I often feel faint and dizzy in the mornings and it's quite an inconvenience. Just last week, when I took my cat to the vet, I ended up starting to black out randomly. Pretty embarrassing and obviously super inconvenient, as I had to drive home afterwards and was doubtful about whether or not I was okay enough to drive home. I get to the verge of fainting often enough to concern me. I've gotten a few tests over the years, but my doctor remains largely unconcerned about it. She thinks it's just my very low blood pressure, but I do everything I can to help that. I drink lots of water, eat salty snacks, and never get up too quickly-- but it doesn't help. So, ironically, I ended up fainting at a doctors' appointment to look into why I keep almost fainting. To answer some frequently asked questions: No, the nurse wasn't "impressed." I'm a female. Also, I think me lying on the floor immobile kind of killed the mood.

dont worry nurses have seen everything..

47: I think "urine trouble" was a pun for "you're in trouble"...

Don't worry about it. Anyone, let alone nurses, in the medical field have witnessed things way worse (or should I say embarrassing?) than what happened to you. We all have our own embarrassing moments, so don't kick yourself over what happened.

Don't they usually make you give urine first before they take blood? At least that's what they did with me. But they also blew my vein but that's another story...

#113 I don't know, but they made me get blood drawn first before the urine sample.

Its ok I pass out when i get shots or blood drawn too

If the nurse was hot you should have ask to see hers that since she saw yours. Only fair.

So put yours away, kid. OP is female.

This sounds like the beginning of a porno scene

Better a clinic bathroom than the drinking bar down the street.

That sounds like a sexy nurse fantasy gone HORRIBLY wrong.

Ahh I faint half the time after blood tests, even when I'm already lying down! I can imagine its not the first time she's seen that happen!

So you WERE caught with your pants down.

I respect your right to comment But is This Necessary?
