no need for needle!

i have low tolerance level for physical pain and/or ordeal. hospitals and clinics make me jittery and i could not stand the sight of blood. i hate injections or needles or any of those medical paraphernalia. the word "operation" scares the crap out of me. seeing a doctor turns me into a hypochondriac. i'd feel sick all over while waiting for my turn when i was just there to have my tonsils checked.

imagine my anxiety during our company's annual physical examination. the last one was a total disaster.

the nurse had to try three times to get some blood out of me. the needle wasn't that painful but the feeling was magnified by my anxiety attack. i was told that if they still don't get blood from me after the third try, the nurse will trying getting it through another parts of my body. no efffing way. my body seemed to have heard the threat and finally cooperated. but there was no way i could watch her inserting that evil evil needle in my vein and see my own blood fill up a vial. eeeky. disorientation followed after my encounter with that vicious needle. i went into mild shock and didn't know what i was doing. i misplaced my forms and went around in circles as i tried regaining my composure.

the experience was just plain horrible.
