  • Ok - after over a decade of fearing blood tests, Joanne, the amazing nurse at this lab helped me get over my fear of the scary thick, blood-drawing needle. Seriously, I sat in the chair, she came in, started doing her thing, I cannot even remember what she talked about because I was so scared s^*^less (but really trying not to show it) - but I remember saying "I feel stupid saying this but this is really no big deal, RIGHT?". She looks at me, rolls her eyes and was all "definitely not!", flips open a tab and reveals the bigass needle. And without hesitation, fully knowing that I'm in fight or flight mode, pops the needle into my arm. It was one of those, past the point of no return moments - the ones that happen so slowly, that make you think like you've got a full hour to decide whether or not to stay or go and what those implications will mean further down the road.... but no - it happened so fast, all I felt was a tiny prick for half a second, and then - the needle was IN. And then I froze. "Why don't you look? I find it always helps me get over it if I look while it's happening." "Uhm, no it's okay," I responded, trying hard to still keep my right hand in a fist while not thinking about how a thick needle was directly drawing blood from a vein in my arm. That thought alone, weakened my tight grip which Joanne noticed. "Allllmost there..." She made a motion which signalled to me that she was changing the vial to get a second vial of blood...SICK, I thought. Despite not being able to feel anymore pain, the psychological-ness of it all was making me feel light-headed. "Done!" And with the same swiftness she used to poke me with the needle, she retracted her hand and out came the needle - I didn't even feel any of this! "You're done" I sat in the chair as she taped some cotton to my inner elbow area, and marvelled at how incredibly stupid I felt, living in my fear of blood tests for more than a decade - when all it took was 53 seconds to get over it. I probably thanked Joanne a million times and swore that she would be the only person I allow to draw blood from me from now on.
