Do you watch or do you look away?

Now that I think about it, it was the only time I've been poked with a needle where they said "I'm not going to lie, this is going to hurt like hell"

Try a spinal tap sometime.

I prefer to do it myself. I have crappy veins and usually end up a pin cushion, otherwise.

Even if I'm not doing it, I still watch. I don't have the guts to look away from someone coming at me with a sharp object.

I watch. I think that stuff is cool

Hee hee! Me too! I'm a bit fascinated by my own blood, and I have pale almost-see-through skin over big fat blue veins on my left arm, so even the trainees don't usually have a problem.

Once, though I did encouter an unusually inept nurse-type when I was donating - after the third miss, I asked if I could just do it. No, no, let's make this painful...

you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

I had that happen once...the guy in the bloodmobile missed bad and slid it into my bicep....I damn near came out of the chair.

Worst one ever. That bruise lasted a LONG time.
