Nurse said I was squeamish because I hadn't had children yet.

I traumatized her by telling her about the illegal medical testing I endured as a child.

This happened a couple of weeks ago.

My fertility doctor ordered some blood tests for me. I am a 34 year old

woman and I went to my local health care clinic to get them done. I have tri-panophobia, a fear of

needles which I disclose to the nurse who'd be taking my blood.

I always need to warn them because I can handle myself okay for around 10 minutes or so,

but if the blood draw takes too long, I'm likely to vomit and or faint.

I once very embarrassingly throw up on the nurse's shoes.

The nurse looks at me like they don't believe me and ask if I have children.

I say no.

Keep in mind that the labels for my blood tests have the word

infertility in big bold letters but whatever. The nurse goes on about how I

won't be this squeamish once I have kids. I'm pretty annoyed at this point as I can already feel a bit woozy.

So I say very coldly, I didn't used to be squeamish about needles as a kid,

which is why the doctors in my home country volunteered me for medical testing and training.

My parents got paid while I was used as a human pincushion for medical trainees.

I specifically remember the day they taught students how to draw blood from my neck.

The nurse turned whites and proceeded to wordlessly draw the blood.

Because they took so long, I ended up throwing up, which they had to clean up.

Maybe next time they'll learn to listen to their patients.

Wow, what a start to this sub-brother.
