Don't they just wrap a rubber string around your arm and put a needle in it? It's not that bad, just feels like your skin is being pinched

But if it helps, just look away and close your eyes, or tightly squeeze something when you start to feel any pain

dude, I have had a few of those.

It doesn't hurt stuff unless you a 10 year old.

try not to think about the possibility of your veins collapsing

The syringe will miss and you will squirt blood for hours
You'll be fine. If your arm is tense, it might sting a bit (speaking from experience). Have it loose and nothing will explode inside that room.

I got blood work done every two weeks for five years on account of my liver.

Or of the nurse being unable to find a vein and having to try again and again and again and again.

Also, the nice bruise you can sometimes get afterwards.

As someone who's gotten it done hundreds of times, neither of these has ever been an issue. I'm still scared of needles, but it's just an unpleasant poke.

Remember not to eat or drink too much of anything except water before you go or you'll have to do it again.

It's really not so bad. They just stick a pokey-majigger in your arm and take some juices. Just pretend you're Jason Statham and it'll be cake.

Why is everyone acting like it's something that someone needs to be comforted for? It's a loving needle and doesn't hurt at all unless you're like 10

unsanitized needle = loving ebola
