Needles - Page 2

Corey · 02-03-2009, 10:54 PM

I can't do IV needles, never could, probably never will. I have no problem with tattoo needles (got five tats right now, looking for more), and I can take needles anywhere else without problem, but I can't do IV needles. I seize when I have to give blood. They're excessively painful to me, and when they're in my arm, I get an awful metallic taste in my mouth. It's probably all psychosomatic, but I can't take it. I'm just now getting ok at watching the nurses put in a line at work, but I still get light headed half the time. It's the one thing that really stops me from going to school to be a PA.

You should watch them do a centyral line of a femoral cut down.

Not a fan of pain.. but needles don't bother me. Military likes to make us walking petri dishes, and I've also donated blood numerous times in the past. It isn't pleasant, per se.. but it doesn't bother me.

Get me up on a rappel tower, though.. I start hyperventilating.

Sure they don't feel amazing but they're over so quickly that I don't really understand the irrational adult fear of them.

Soooo.....explain yourselves all you chickens!

we are all walking balloons wit a few bones to gives us shape.

The needle might pop the balloon and send us whipping around the room

Needles on my arms I can take. I can do the inside elbow thing when testing blood. However, when I had to get a tooth pulled a while back the novacaine shots hurt like fuck.

I don't mind needles at all. I donate blood often and for reason just never minded them.

I've been poked and proded (Not in the good way) so many times that they dont' bother me one bit anymore. When I got my Tattoo, one of the other artists came in to talk to the guy doing mine. The other artist said "Damn, he's a good one. Not a peep" after they talked for about 10minutes.

And when I was in the ICU and I saw 3 big needles come in I wanted to get up and dance (But I couldn't cause of all the wires and tubes they had on me). But knowing Morphine and Demoral where on the way will make you happy to see a needle.

But I always took part in activities that involved a lot of pain. When my legs weren't on fire from racing BMX the rest of my body was on fire from hitting the dirt while crashing in BMX. Plus I have little (And big) scars all over my body from work and play.
