I'm a weenie
I had no idea Im such a weenie when it comes to medical procedures. A few years ago I had a very minor surgical procedure done, and I almost passed out. I had asked the dumb question of how she was doing what she was doing, and that mental picture stayed with me until I was checking out. My vision got fuzzy, I was light-headed, and I just about fell over when a legion of nurses came to my rescue.
Today I was getting some stitches out, and the same thing - I almost fainted! It was just stitches, but the doctor had to report that one of the wounds "opened up a bit." Ugh. I pictured some horror show ghastly monster opening its mouth. Moments later, there went my vision, then the nurse sounded like she was in a tunnel... Luckily for all involved I remained conscious, but only for the thought to occur to me what a weenie I am.

Personally, I've always enjoyed the part where they say: "Now you're going to feel a little prick" (WooHoo).
And here I was showing med students how to put sutures IN me!
Nah, getting stitches out isn't too fun. But I can watch that. The funny thing is I can't watch when they draw blood for my dozens of blood tests every few weeks. If I even glance I hit the floor. Weird huh?
yeah, I'm a little sqeamish that way as well...
