Always Be Honest At The Doctor’s
I have to go get routine blood work and I am not required to fast. I normally get lightheaded and dizzy when doing blood work but only when I have to fast. Still, I’m not the best with needles so I always try to warn the phlebotomist ahead of time.
Me: “Hey, just so you know, I’m not good with getting blood drawn and I have nearly fainted in the past once.”
Phlebotomist: “Nope, not again. Stand up.”
She has me get up off the chair so she can recline it so I’m less likely to get woozy.
Me: “What did you mean not again?”
Phlebotomist: “I’ve had three appointments already today where people have fainted because they neglected to tell me they had issues with getting blood drawn until after they were on the ground.”
