I mean hell, if shit goes wrong, you're in the right bloody place.
i had kinda hope speakman had died, what a pity
i always watch lol, and if you think the standard donation needles are big you should try apheresis... since they take blood out, centrifuge it and put it back in...
It really helps not to watch. I don't like needles either. They didn't bother me as a kid, but for some reason the older I get the more I feel them.So I just don't look. I normally say to the nurse "I don't like needles, I'll just look away" and it takes your imagination out of the equation.Try it next time you need a shot at your GP. Take it from ol' scaredy-bum.

Take it from ol' scaredy-bum.Opposite. Not knowing is putting the imagination back IN to the equation.But generally I think it's the suspense, being able to see dulls that, so I quiver in anticipatory fear less or something. I dunno, it's hard to explain. But fucked if I'm looking away. xD

Like sure they would clean the machine between people and what not, but what's to say you get some crazy crappy disease from it?
