I make them find a place for me to lie down before I let them near me. Even if they bitch and moan, and some of them bitch and moan a lot. None of them bitch as much as I would if I fell out of the chair again like I did when I was 16 and I let the tech talk me out of it. I passed out once when I was little when I watched another kid get a shot. Once I even passed out watching a film in junior high health class, it was in black & white. I can poke myself and test without a problem, now. I can't let someone else do it to me until I lie down. A few months ago, I had to tell DH's nurse to shut the hell up when she was trying to start an iv and started telling horror stories about ivs. I had to lay on the floor until the room stopped spinning and I hadn't even been watching. The same thing happened when my kid got stitches and didn't want me to leave the room.
