I. Hate. Needles.

I argue that i have a completely valid reason to hate them too. I was a military baby and we often had to get inoculated before we'd move on. When I was 4 we were moving to the middle east and I had to get yet another round of shots. Up until then, needles didn't phase me. But this time the military doctor claimed he couldn't find my veins(I was FOUR) and decided he needed to put a tourniquet on my arm to make them come up. He smiled at my mother and said he was going to step out for a moment to get the vaccines and then...nothing. Five minutes, then ten minutes...when my whole arm was then purple my mother went out, grabbed the first person with a name tag and threatened to wrap the tourniquet around their neck if they didn't get to me NOW. Same doctor came back in, said NOTHING, took off the tourniquet, gave me five shots and walked out. He of course did the shots right as blood was RUSHING back through my arm in the worst pins and needles sensation EVER.

Suffice to say I'm not a HUGE fan of needles, shots or even the medical profession after that.

Then, to top it off, senior year of HS I had to get a tetanus booster and my Hep C shot...in different arms...on my band final day. Yeah, failed that final since I could lift neither arm.
