    Because a lot of nurses make a huge mess of it! Stabbing through veins, not finding them, causing pain and bruises! It's my personal worst nightmare!

    Most get special training ..so don't blame the majority..for those who forget what they were taught in the beginning or just get sloppy.

    They are probably afraid of finding out they have some terminal disease.

    What 3rd world country do you come from? I'm speaking about having your blood drawn in a medical setting for testing. They do not use the same needles....wow.

    Maybe you should take a class, regardless of whatever I spelled wrong, the same needles are not used on multiple people - period. To say such a thing when I am trying to understand the fears that people may have about having blood drawn is shameful, you are promoting fear and I'm not for that. I care about the people I work with and want to learn on how I can better help them. You have a problem with that? Go troll somewhere else.

    Needles! But for some reason, piercing needles dont bother me at all. I just got my nose pierced and it was fine. But when it comes to blood draws and shots, i get all nervous, my throat constricts, and i start to black out. Never ends well. Haha

    I'm one of those people. I just hate the feeling of my blood coming out. Makes me anxious to watch the vials fill with my blood. I think it all started when I was young because I have small, hidden veins, and I would have to be poked multiple times before they found the vein. Sometimes they have to use my forearm.

    People just don't take to having their veins stabbed and siphoned out. It's one of the great mysteries of life.

    Great question ! I was a Navy Hospital Corpsman, and served with the 2nd Marines.
    We had to to a medical call for HIV testing on all personel.
    Here comes a Big, Strong, Fearless, U.S. Marine, sits on the table and before the needle ever made it to his arm he passed out cold !

    Why ? I have no idea !
