I don't get on well with blood tests...
...so I took my girlfiend at the time with me, for support. Oh dear...

(My first post by the way - hello all!)

I had my first blood test done when I was about 12. I got up too quick afterwards, and after feeling like I was walking on the moon as me & my mum were leaving, I woke up on the floor in the waiting room with one of the doctors leaning over me. Ever since, I've been petrified of them.

I had one four years ago, back when I was 18. My Dad dropped me & my girlfriend off outside the doctors, and waited in the car park for us. Waiting inside, I was pretty nervous, a little shaky. After what seemed like decades, I was called in. We went in to a small room, I sat in a chair almost like a dentists. I told the nurse who was going to be torturing me (he actually looked like a small goblin, made me even more nervous) that I was a little shaky about it, so he asked if I'd rather lie down - yep. So we moved to another room, with a bed, two chairs and a sink. It was a tiny room, only just big enough for the three of us really. Anyway, I lay down, he took the blood whilst chatting to me. He switched a fan on to keep me cool afterwards, and left the room to give me a minute to relax, calm down from it. I felt fine actually. Well, I did....

Her: "I feel dizzy...."

Oh god. Please no....

Me: "Go tell the nurse then."

So she gets up, leaves the room... Walks in a few seconds later, sits back down.

Her: "No, I feel really, really dizzy..."

Fucksocks.

Just as the nurse walks in, I turn to my girlfriend, who promptly passes out, smacking her head on the wall on the way down. I've never moved so fast... I jumped straight off the bed, out the door, and into the empty doctors room next door and sat down, while the nurse called for one or two of the doctors to come & help. I started feeling really feint, dizzy, sweating... I grabbed the bin from under the doctors desk, and proceeded to fill it with vomit, while they're putting my girlfriend on the bed next door, and checking to see if she's ok. After 15 minutes or so of calming us both down, they ended up going to the car park & getting my Dad to come in and help us both out.

The girlfriend ended up with whiplash & concussion from smacking her head on the wall, and ended up going to hospital a couple of days later for xrays & things.

My results came back fine, though.

Bloody hell!
What happens if you have something serious done, it would be carnage!
