How do you bear with pain?

Lai lai, share share your technique especially when you see a long needle which is going into your skin any second from now...

Your technique may be useful for ppl who are scared of needles... Mr. Green

dragg SG

alfagal SG

hahaha

renorenal SG

Yeah rite... and get an orgasm instead ar? Laughing

anakinfoo SG

Dont look at the needle and think of other things.

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Calm yourself down. If you keep thinking you are scared, you will feel pain. Once you calm down, the pain will be reduced.

okie la..so far e most painful one was:

i took it in P6..the BCG..somehow i felt tat e 'test' shot was more burning than e actual one..din do anything much la..was watching how e nurse injected into me..then eh? felt nothing..later did e sensation come and saw e bubble rise within my skin..by e time i felt pain, e shot was over.. Rolling Eyes din cry or watsoever..come to think of it, wondered how i got thru it..

but so far only once did i cried after experience with needles..

had to take blood samples to the lab n test for Heb B...e first time, e doc inserted e needle n pulled e syringe..okie got blood...after tat, started to see bubbles..sigh..so no choice have to try another vein..

tis time, e left hand..e same thing happened, but tis time, it caused so much pain!! could felt e whole vein being pulled from wrist to upper arm..e doc was so shocked..she took it out immediately..

last time, back to right hand again..another spot though..no blood still..

but i think i was in trauma already..sat there and teared...e doc pasted 3 plasters on me lo..think she felt quite bad too...mus have looked so silly w so many plasters..after that left her room, but sat in e clinic for fifteen mins.. Crying or Very sad pple were wondering wat happened manz..

no choice had to make another trip down to tat same clinic again..luckily, it was successful tat fourth time..or i would have died..

i was 17 then...

now everytime think of blood tests abit scared...docs always *shakes head* whever they see me...cos vessel too thin liaoz..hard to find..challenging for e greenhorns...

Poor thing. Luckily me draw blood one time ok already. Don’t know how many blood tests have I taken…............ the doctors (no kidding, nurses didn’t draw the blood) are very good at doing it, and is much less painful than the nurses who did it. I practically didn’t feel anything when they drew my blood to do blood tests.

renorenal SG

Sounded traumatic... ok... when I was in my studying years, withdrawing blood wasn't a prob, but inserting an IV line was one of the toughest challenge for me coz the trocar was pretty long and I had to ensure that the pulling and withdrawing action is met at all times... quite tough... hahaha...

But I got see lar, quite a lot of my friends first time withdrawing blood, hands shake... me too, the worst was I had to withdraw 3 times in one hand...

The hardest was the obese, overweight and very thin individuals...

alfagal SG

so how does it feels manz? to withdraw three times in a row..really wonders wat e doc feel tat time she did it... Razz

wats trocar..jargon again Razz

tt mite make u feel better alittle.. Mr. Green

renorenal SG

Trocar is like a guide for a cannula (a flexible tube), usually a needle. What happen here is that the needle is ensheated with the flexible tube... and as you insert the needle up to a certain extent, you remove the needle and push the cannula inside...

The main aim of the trocar is to reach the desired location (such as a blood vessel) and once it creates a path, it can be removed and the cannula which is meant to stay temporarily for a period of time to administer medications or to drain fluids, is then inserted.

Hahaha... the first time when I was withdrawing blood, I felt quite bad and was sweating all over... feel like calling the house officer to take over me and felt lousy for the whole day... but now different liau larz... expert d Mr. Green

SBS9828X SG

i mean cut a bit of the skin part of the thumb...the part wer its highest

renorenal SG

Hahahaha... walau... reminds me of a 14 year old girl when I was doing my 5th year... had to withdraw some blood from her. She was rather ill but her mom told me that her pain threshold is very low...

I haven't poke only she screamed until sooooo loud... the whole ward staffs and patients kept looking at me... Embarassed chialat... but in the end I got the blood lar... wuz so happy man... she was screaming as I insert the needle and screaming as I withdraw the blood and screaming as I remove the needle...

Sad

Feel very bad the whole morning... Rolling Eyes

stellazio SG

this seems familiar..anyway i always look at the injection one..cause i don't like to look away den suddenly get a shocked when the needle first enter,which might cause me to jerk..heck i even had to endure 4 injections just for one sample of blood..nothing new to me.. Laughing

renorenal SG
