I used to be scared to death of needles but they tell you the second day of bootcamp, If your scared of needles consider yourself overcome of your fear



I get shots all the time. I'm like a test dummy so to speak. I cannot however get blood drawn that is the worse ever! They can never find my veins
 
It doesnt bother me too much. The suspense building up to it is always funny... Because afterwords you are like.. That was quick, why was I so concerned?

Yes to both, shots and blood drawn. Being in the medical field I am used to both shots and having my blood drawn as part of the yearly physical. I do, however, like to give rather than receive

Yes to needles and blood being drawn, i have tattoos, and i am Diabetic injections, i have injections in my eyes as well. So needles don't bother me any more, still hurt at times lol
 
I'm not afraid of either. They hurt, sure, but I can watch both and not feel sick. In fact, last week I had my blood drawn and the tech couldn't get any out of my left arm easily, so he had to go to my right arm. That sucked 'cause they both hurt for a little while, but mostly the left.
 
Neither of them really bother me I was the weird kid that was first in line to get my shots at school to get them over and and done with.

With all the numerous times I've had blood work done over the years (..oh, the joys of lithium pharmacology...not), the answer's no. Now, does that mean I don't get squeamish? You bet your ass I still get squeamish...but I stopped worrying about that a long time ago.
