Hey, what are your thoughts on blood tests? You ever had one? I've got one tomorrow, and just want to see your thoughts on it.
Do you mean like a shot?

No like a Blood Test is, they put a needle in you're arm or leg and draw out 3 or so tubes of blood and send it off to get tested. I need to do this to see which needles I need and which needles I don't. And also to see if i've got an infection.
Isn't that the doctor's job?

You get it done at the doctors.
Blood tests are nothing. Relatively quick too.
Lol if all you do is get a needle in your arm isn't that the same as a shot?

It's just another word for it. It's a needle in the arm and them they extract blood. They don't put anything in. If they did that would mean it would be a shot, In Australia anyway.
I just had one today, all it is, is like a little pinch to wherever you're getting it.
They're not very painful, :-). Feels like an initial bee sting, but doesn't have a prolonged ache or anything!
The worse place to get it is on the top side of your wrist. It's awful. Not the pain you get form the needle it's the pain you get afterwards. You're constantly bumping it and it's just terrible.
Getting it on the joint of the inside of your elbow is the best.
Got it today at 8:00 AM, was nothing just a tiny pinch.
Children and needles these days ::)
There are bigger more scarier things out there.
