I've heard of people at the sight of the procedure looking at it end up passing out from the sight of the blood being taken, I don't have a prob with watching it done, what are your thoughts?

I've gotten used to it. Can watch them draw blood. Even when I donate blood, no problem there either.

When I was younger yeah I had to turn my head away. Now at 66 I watch them put needles in and take blood . I also think it's cool to watch them with that light when they are hunting for veins for an iv and than I watch them put it in.

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member Thats interesting. Normally they should be able to tell if they will have issues with a vein. They have issues with one of mine but they never try it.

My only problem is when I get someone who cannot hit my blood vessel with the first needle insertion and I have had multiple needles done by multiple nurses. I can watch my blood go into the needle test tube with no problem.
