Tricky Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I too have regular blood tests and luckily doesn't bother me. A mate of mine is a traffic bobby and has seen some truely gruesome sight decapitations etc. One evening he was watching tv, a program on Jewish religion which amongst other items discussed circumcision! Next thing his wife is trying to wake him up as he'd fell off the sofa and was out cold. Very weird the way the mind works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AidanPlace Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I don't think I'd do too well in that situation! I'd ask them to put a bl**dy tap in I think. Scott, I'm a huge fan of superglue for that sort of thing. Sliced my leg open with a Stanley knife some time back, quick squirt of superglue, change of trousers for a pair not covered in blood and back to work. They were feeding me introveinous antiboitics through one of those at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingu Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I've had a wee nap during giving blood. They ran a blood suger and found I'd skipped breakfast and was running on empty. Might be worth checking. P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Doesn't help much when it's a fasting blood test, and you're not allowed anything on the run up to it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsechris Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 One time for me was a fasting one, made worse when I misunderstood the instructions and fasted for 24 hours.......sure that didn't help. Recently they haven't been fasting tests so no help there unfortunately. they even checked my blood sugar last time and it was fine. The 70/40 blood pressure reading worried them enough to wire me up to the ECG. When I'm not in the middle of an unexpected reboot, my BP is normally, well, normal 120/80 which is pretty good for an old fart like me.
