So I had my umpteenth blood test today to check for anaemia and fatigue syndome...ah what a sickly moderator I am.
Anyway, I've heard that there are two types of people. Those that can watch the needle puncture their skin; and those that can't. Personally, I love watching the needle go in and the blood spurt; but my boyfriend near passes out if he tries it. What are you guys like? |

i seriously hate needles & blood... i've passed out at the doctor's before because of them.
 so i most certainly close my eyes and think happy thoughts.

It's recommended that if you don't see that kind of stuff, you'll remain calm and won't go crazy and hyperventilate or do some other trash. For people with abdominal wounds, we're told to turn their heads to the side because I'm sure they don't want to see their guts hanging out.
Same principle. |

I don't ever think I did, but I might be able too. I just think of something else.

I watch it when it punctures my skin and after that too, when it begins to fill up in the tube, haha.
Although once I almost passed out from staring at it too long.

I have. It kinda grosses me out at first, watching the needle go in and the blood come out, but after a while, I'm just kinda like 'eh.'
