You probably have nice wonderful veins that are easy to hit.  They have serious 
problems hitting my veins and usually make my arms and hands a mess.  When I 
have an IV in the hospital it usually stops up.  My last stay they had to 
change the IV three times in two days.  When they have trouble getting veins 
that isn't fun.

I prefer to run!

  Phooey.  Not to say that I like shots, but I've had bazillions of them.  I 
was hospitalized last week and I lost count of the blood tests taken.  I may 
have to have a pacemaker so I will probably have more blood tests and I don't 
care.  Faith G.

    I list anything that comes in a needle under allergies.  I can't stand 
shots.  I have no problem giving them to our animals but to take one 
myself.........I run.

        Once upon a time, long ago, I was on duty in a clinic in a MASH unit.

      I had never given a shot to anyone.

      Guess what?  My first Sargent was a patient, and he needed a shot.

      Not every one gets to stick his first Sargent in the rear with a huge 
needle.

      I had seen nurses give it one hard and fast JAB.

      I tried that, and the needle did not go it.  It just bounded out.  
Darn.......
      He hollered in great joy !

      So, ....... I tried again and drove it in to the hilt, and part of the 
syringe.

      And......... he hollered again.  My mission was complete and I was an 
      expert at giving shots,

      to the First Sargent, at least.

      I never told him about that being the first shot I ever gave anyone.
