Fear of phobia of syrenges or needles being stuck in your arm?
Full grown man here but will pass the frick out if I see a needle going in my skin.

Used to bother me until I had to wait 4 hours at the health department to get a shot before going overseas.

After being in that waiting room I told the doctor to give me all the fricking shots they had so i don't have to come back. I was ready to inject myself at that point.

When I give blood I watch that shovel penetrate my vein.

Needles have never bothered me.

I didn't but after some of the 3 AM attempts my nurses had in the hospital trying to take blood out of my arm, I do now. 30 days I'm there and every morning at 3 AM they'd try to take blood. Every now and then they'd get it on the first try. The worse was the night had to stick me four times.

And I don't even want to remember getting the IVs started.

That would be accepted if there was a certain will power that could circumvent that from happening.
I've seen 250# dudes faint from this.

Shots don't bother me, but having blood drawn does...or even being around someone else having it done. My wife had sinus surgery, and I almost passed out when they were pulling out the stints. Didn't bother me nearly as much as a kid.

I jump a little bit but I think that's natural when someone is stabbing you, but I'm not scared of them


Bitch at the dr's office the other day pretty much stabbed me in the spine instead of my arse

Initially read this as Tyranophobia

Well then I guess I've learned you a little something to brag to your fellow medics then.
Be honest. You're stoked to learn something you've never heard of before in your field.
