Are you afraid of needle? I hope not. It's just a small "prick" and it won't really hurt. I just had my blood test and fasting lipid profile or cholesterol level (TC, Tg, LDL, HDL level) checked (after endless servings of sotong aka squids over the last couple of weeks besides crabs/prawns and other high cholesterol stuffs). Mmm.. My cholesterol level is still
very well kept within normal limit despite all those high cholesterol stuff I took few weeks ago :) Have you checked your cholesterol level lately? If not, it's time to do so. Remember.. needle prick doesn't hurt. I'm not afraid of needle and I hope the same goes to you too :)
There are quite a number of people out there who are afraid or phobia of needles. Frankly speaking, I'm amused each time I see those well built macho and muscular guys closing their eyes or looking away or covering their faces with the other hand when being pricked with needle for blood taking purpose. The more extreme one, will shout like a kid. If they are little kids, then it is understandable. But these are adults !!
Aiyoh... blood taking is
nothing major. Although some
unlucky one might need to be pricked few times during the blood taking process cos of small, non visible or non palpable veins or blood vessels (Hahahaa, blood taking needs skill too), but the pain is so transient and only last for a brief duration. What to scare of? I know I know... different people have different pain threshold :P

Is it true that if the needle is changed after used to poke into the whatever tube to get the whatever fluid for injection, the new needle doesn't hurt as much because the previous one is already blunt? Gosh I think I need to rephrase my question.. sleepy.. can't think right. Hahhahaha

i know i know.. u never check cos u scared of needle.. LOLOL It's good to know your cholesterol level. Well, I have see many thin youngsters in their twenties with high cholesterol level leh :P
angel,
It's fun to poke people with needle hoh? Especially people that u dislike, kakakka (just kidding lah)
wah.. so next time before cucuk u, must plaster your mouth to avoid pencemaran bunyi :P
i brave gal. they poke until when they withdraw needle, my blood spill all over from little cushion pad to floor. i look calmly and said, wah wasted leh liddat.
I'm ok with needles as long as they don't poke a hole in me... ;)
have a wonderful journey in LIFE!
What a scary post! I do fear about any kind of needle, especially the syringe needle!
actually not scary & painful. but if you encounter situation whereby doctor or nurse who "poke" you several times in attempt to reach your artery, i guess you will have different point of view soon hahahahaha ...
i hv a phobia on needles but when they poke it..nth ler...
when i removed my wisdomm tooth the doctor inject 3 needles on my gum...
mistipurple,
Bravo.. brave gal. Some people will feel dizzy or even fainted at the sight of blood :P
Yeah, very wasteful hoh? Spilling your precious blood on the floor :P
SA,
Those were the memorable days, huh? :) Almost all kids dislike doctors cos the fear of needles.
I hates taking blood or setting branula on little kids cos they struggle so much. At times we need 5 or 6 adults to hold the kid still. And summore the veins of the little ones especially the chubby kids are so delicate :P
may,
I have few colleagues who scared of being pricked as well :P Human nature, hoh?
U notice, u notice?
Hahaha.. My hand was itchy yesterday night and I changed my blog title :P
Not "Rambling" on anymore but embarking on a journey called Life now? ;)
The artist,
Mmmm…. Don’t worry, most people share the same opinion as u :)
slurp,
Artery? Hah? u kena poked artery before for certain blood investigation, eg ABG ah? Or someone was admitted to ICU before? :P
Taking blood from vein and from artery is different. The latter (artery) is much much more painful :) But the needle we used for arterial blood sampling or inserting arterial branula for arterial line are much smaller then the needle we used for blood taking from veins.
And of course skills do count :) If get poked by inexperienced junior nurses or medical students or fresh unexperienced junior doctor or house officer or intern, then different story lah :P
ah nel,
That’s good :) Wanna volunteer for blood donation? Can save lives.
fh2o,
Yesterday night I have itchy hands... That's why :D
needles? not painful lah.. but i still look away when they poke it through my vein.

aiyoh, my dear sponge sponge dunno what is her blood group ah? Don't worry... Your good friend, Pink Cotton volunteer to take blood sample from u (with my encouragement). She will insert the needle into your vein just like poking straw into the soyabean milk packet.. So dramatic hoh? No eye see...
LOL
See? Red Sponge knows what I'm talking about! ^.^
Oh, and you sudah kena tagging....
oh dear, oh dear.. *no eye see*
Not really scared of needle, but I would close my eyes tight tight and hope to get it done soon enough.. :D
Btw, I noticed you changed your blog title.. from 'ramblings' to 'a journey called life'.. that's nice ^^
plink,
hahha, u both have same school of thought? :P
Kena tagged ah? Luckily it is the same tag by zeroimpact.. Or else cham loh.. have to do two different tags. I answered liao..
butt,
u really "no eye see" woh..
Close eyes till so tight :P
See little bit-bit tak boleh keh? :)
Yeah, yeah.. u noticed..
I tukar yesterday night :)
HAhahaha. Ok, I am more alert now. Here it goes..
My friend went to take her Hep B anitbody jab. During the first dose, the doc put on a new needle, inject into a bottle containing the antibody, then the doc took out the needle, installed a new one, then jab her.
But during the second dose, the doc used the same needle to poke into the bottle to obtain the antibody, then didn't change the needle and terus jab her.
Is it a must for the nurse/doc to change the needle after getting the antibody before injecting the patient?
lynxx,
The reason why they changed the needle is to maintain the sterility of the needle prior to injection. Cos the needle is considered as "contaminated" after being inserted to the bottle to withdraw the drug solutions.
It is better to change to a new needle for "sterility" purpose, but frankly speaking... not everyone practise that in real life :)
HAR???? mai mai mai...no need no need!
i will find it out one day...
red sponge,
Aiks.. u have no confident in Pink Cotton ah? Must give her face mah.. Let her cucuk your blood vessel :p
Oh I see... so it's not much on the needle getting blunt but more of sterility. Thanks!
Just seeing the needle sent chills down my spine!!!
I don't mind donating blood but I mind the needles!!!
contaminate mer???blood oso wad???lol
that day they kam to our kompeli oso i din donate...lol
lynxx,
u r mostly welcomed :)
IML,
Be strong. Err... Practice made perfect, so look at the needle more often to overcome your fear :P
ah nel,

I guess u don’t want to transfuse “those” blood back into your own body, right? :)
kenot ah.. nanti i pengsan then how? :P
