Default I HATE getting my blood drawn!!

I went in yesterday to get my blood drawn so they can make sure i'm healthy enough for the surgery and they took 2 tubes of blood yesterday and they tied that thing around my arm so tight that it hurt for half the day...then I get a call this morning that I need to go back in and get more blood work cause of the speciman vile wasn't good enough for them to test or something.

Damn

I hate getting blood drawn too. But, that might be due to my irrational fear of needles.

I hate it too, but find I get the best results when I talk nice and joke with the phlebotomist. A smiling phlebotomist is one who won't hurt you and will do a good job.

I had blood drawn 8 times in one day when I was a kid. Glucose tolerance test. One draw, then I drank a bottle of basically coke syrup, then every half hour for 2 hours, then every hour for 4 hours. Or something like that...

That's no fun...when I was 4 I was in the hospital with e-coli and I had an iv in me for about 4 months and I had to get blood drawn everyday and I had to get 2 blood transfusions.
I am scared to death of needles!!
