March 9, 20215 yr There is more good medical info on this page about COVID and vaccines in one page, than Trump gave out in 4 years.

So he's good I tend to pass out when my veins are punctured for blood draws. When I got put under for getting my wisdom teeth out I passed out from the iv poke, woke up and thought I was done. Nope. Then they gave me the good crap.

Do you also pass out when your vachina gets punctured?

I'm lucky that needles/IV's don't bother me. I had an angiogram a couple of years ago and it just so happened to be the day that they were having nursing students start IV's. It took a few attempts for them to get it going on me, but I honestly didn't mind. They gotta learn sometime. 🤷♂️ The poor bastid beside me was NOT taking it well.

March 10, 20215 yr Biden’s signature will not be on the stimulus checks. Shows how much less capable he is than Trump...

March 10, 20215 yr I don't have an issue watching blood draws on my own arm, but I did get light headed to the point where I had to sit down when I watched the anesthesiologist struggle to place an epidural on my wife. He poked her so many times trying to hit the spinal canal that it looked like a 10x10 grid of puncture wounds with blood dripping out of each one, all while she was writhing in pain the whole time.

After a surgery of mine, they had to find a new spot for my IV, it took them the first half of a preseason Eagles game for them to find it. It was a lot of poking into my arm and using a machine to help to find a good spot. It was unpleasant. I did faint after giving blood once (I had to give blood in case I needed it after my surgery) but I was only like 14 at the time. I haven’t given blood since.
March 10, 20215 yr No shame in getting woozy with shots, but just pointing out that you'd all be garbage at childbirth.
March 10, 20215 yr Needles have never bothered me. O remember in high school I split my head open and had to get a line of stitches. They shot it with novocaine or whatever so it didn't hurt when they were sticking it up, but there just enough sensation left that I could feel the thread pulling through and the skin pulling tight as they stitched me up. People always thought it was weird that I described it as a neat feeling. At one point I thought the nurse asked me if needed a popsicle to keep from passing out and I told her no o was fine before I realized she was talking to my BIL who had taken me to the ER and was in the room. He was about to pass out just from watching it.

Cut the cord on #1. #2 let the doc handle. They also remove all visitors when they do the epidural. Good move because that would've put me out.

I didn't even want to watch much of that at all. There's enough chaos going on that day, don't need to compound it by me freaking out over the health of the person I care about more than anything else.

Good move because that would've put me out. If only! After sitting down, I asked what the problem was, he said he never had this much trouble in the 50 he'd done. In my head I was like, "50?!" Would've been better if he just lied to me and added an extra zero.

March 10, 20215 yr I also get lightheaded during blood draws and donating blood. The trick for me is forcing myself to continue to breath. I'm honestly not afraid of the needle or anything it's just like a response my body goes into i dunno how to describe it. Only one time did I pass out and that was when I was getting a CT scan and they set up an IV and gave me saline solution or whatever before they put the dye in my blood for the scan. I sat down, the nurse walked out of the room and I passed out in a chair. I woke up and for a brief second had no idea where I was or why and all I could see was that I had hospital socks on, freaked me the hell out for like 3 seconds.
