Of course, nurses don’t even tell you that before you get a shot now. No, they say “oh, see, the needle’s in now, it didn’t even hurt!” Thank you, I didn’t know I had a needle in me… but it hurts now, thank you very much.
Is it just me, or can nurses sense people with a fear of needles? (Also, is it weird I have no problem with drawing blood, but injection needles creep me out?) Look, I’m here to get inoculated against a deadly virus, not to have you toy with my (already fragile) mind. Just, you know, stick me and then shoo me off– no commentary needed.
In other news, I now have had my H1N1 shot. Hopefully the normal flu won’t kill me in the next 2 weeks.
