I start MRI school in 2 weeks. Right now Im studying the major veins of the arms in advance. In the near future, I will have to practice finding veins and injecting contrast into patients.

How do you feel about needles?

I had to take weekly allergy shots for about 5 years as a teenager. That got me over the fear of needles real quick.

The prospect of sticking patients doesnt cause me much anxiety.

But me getting a needle in my arm? It makes me feel nervous. Is that weird?

Yeah, but not to the point where it's overwhelming to have them used on me.

Im covered in tattoos so on one hand Im not. I can handle that or getting a shot all day long BUT I dislike having my blood drawn and it always amazes me how many medical professionals miss my vein and fuck it up on a blood draw.

I have 1 medicine that's an injection everyday, 1 every two weeks, a third one every 28 days, and than an IV infusion that I get every month.

I'm mostly alright with them at this point.

Type 1 diabetic since I was like eight. Needles are annoying at worst. And not even the most annoying part of diabetes.

I could imagine having the opposite problem. I'm used to getting needled and needling myself, but jabbing someone else could be kinda nerve-wracking.

Don't have a problem getting shots or tattoos. But I do have a problem with breaking my own skin. I can't for the life of me willingly cut or pierce my skin.

Ive got a dad bod. 62 and 237 pounds. I could lose some but Im not obese. I can always tell the ones that are going to miss because they feel my arm with their finger for like 45 seconds and comment on how my vein is hidden

But the lady who draws at my drs office hasnt missed in 20 years and she has no issues. But everyone else seems to.

I always find it funny when nurses start treating you like a little kid when needles are involved.

"It's okay it's not going to hurt, I promise "
"You can look away if it makes you feel any better."
"Good job, all finished "

Next time I might just play along and ask for a lollipop

That's because some people straight up freak out or faint when a needle comes near them. It's a common phobia.

I've always been completely uncaring toward them. Freaked out my doctors as a kid, they'd be doing the whole soothing "this is gonna hurt a little bit but it'll be alright, etc" bit and I'd be there like "yeah I don't care, do it already".

Nope I've donated blood over 2 dozen times. I get a bit apprehensive knowing the little pinch pain is coming but otherwise no issues watching it go in.

No. When I get a shot I just don't look when they're sticking me with the needle and it's not that bad.

Yes. I've always hated needles. When I was 7, it took 4 nurses and my mom to hold me down to give me some sort of dehydration shot, and they missed 3 times.

Same, although I've never had a reason or urge to try. I'd probably have a really tough time giving myself a needle in the arm or something.

I'd just say I'm very anxious about getting cuts on my fingers. I fucking hate having cuts on my fingers.

I certainly don't like it, but I just look away and grit my teeth when I need to get a shot and it's usually not that bad. I don't think I could handle giving shots myself though.

Yes. I am not nervous from the thought of the pain though. I never had a problem with needles until I randomly passed out during a blood draw. When I awoke I felt really bad and almost puked. That is why am nervous around needles. I hate puking.

They never have and hopefully never will. I used to watch them stick it in as a test of willpower/comfort with it, now I just look away out of boredom.
