Had a blood test done.

Nurse comes back 30 minutes later... sorry we forgot to run one of the necessary tests on your blood.

Had another blood test done.

Different nurse comes back, we mislabeled your blood, and need to run another round to be sure we have correct results for you.

Had 3rd blood test done.

Doctor walks back, " Sorry Mik, I know you are gonna want to punch me by now, but we need to do one last test..."

Had 4th blood test done...

Around this point... i was turning pale. They we're force feeding my sugar cookies and gatorade, finally had to insert an IV and keep my overnight because they had taken too much blood out.

Now If I even think I have to get a shot, or stitches... I pass out.

Tattoos I'm fine with strangely... but even piercings... Got my tongue pierced, passed out, got my ear pierced, passed out.

I had an angry homeless man cut the webbing in between of my thumb and index finger open once... I could see all the nerves in there, it was like a deep cut like 1 inch long. Anyways, I saw that... watched them stitch me up, got a tetanus shot and all that, fine.

Went back to get the stitches OUT and I pass out like a little girl.

Now I lay down for my blood tests.
