At 2.45pm today, a lady at my workplace came into the lab where i work in and asked if anyone wanted to go for a FREE health screen. Woo, for someone who has never gone for health check up entire life and is pretty health-conscious, sounds like some good deal ;) I immediately volunteered and tried to psycho my best friend, Huiying, to go with me. She refused :( Although i really wanted to go a lot, i was scared about the drawing blood part. I started to feel apprehensive...but decided to be brave!!! The first thg I asked the nurse while she was using some litmus paper to test the warm and fresh urine was "NEED TO DRAW BLOOD?" O.O (With huge frighten eyes) She said yes, but just prick the finger tips only. BIG PHEWS!
After the urine test, I had to measure my height, weight, blood pressure..and then, BLOOD TEST! I told the nurse I'm scared and refused to give her my finger...kinda retarded when i come to think of it. It was over real fast..less than 20 secs! Wipe alcohol, prick my finger, squeeze 2 drops on some tester, paste plaster, and ta da~~ Done. The nurse said that she've never seen anyone more scared of needles than me b4 =x
