I was just happy to donate something useful 00:01:29.070 --> 00:01:30.600 He chuckled and said l 00:01:30.600 --> 00:01:35.549 "Well that's a good way to think of it" as I sat there waiting for the bag to fill he decided to go on break and 00:01:35.549 --> 00:01:41.100 Have a different nurse take over the bag was about three-fourths full when all of a sudden the blood stopped flowing 00:01:41.100 --> 00:01:46.229 The new nurse came over and attempted to start it again. She was very quick to pull the needle out of my arm 00:01:46.229 --> 00:01:51.328 It was already a hassle to get it in there in the first place, so I wasn't looking forward to a second time 00:01:51.340 --> 00:01:57.200 Uh, you know what you're doing right "Look honey. I'm the nurse. Let me do my job." 00:01:57.300 --> 00:01:58.880 ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT? 00:01:58.880 --> 00:02:03.060 she stuck the needle back on my arm and started moving it side to side trying to find a vein 00:02:03.060 --> 00:02:07.380 The deeper she shoved the needle in the more my arm hurt. She knows what she's doing 00:02:07.380 --> 00:02:08.140 HuHHhhhHHhh 00:02:08.160 --> 00:02:11.980 I was studying nursing in college so blood and needles don't really bother me 00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:20.000 However the feeling inside of her jabbing a needle in my arm was becoming unbearable to watch. Uh that kind of hurts? 00:02:20.880 --> 00:02:24.260 I was trying to keep my composure until I started getting dizzy, my face went pale 00:02:24.320 --> 00:02:27.620 And I started to pass out the other people working noticed and ran over 00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:33.040 They laid me down and started asking me questions to make sure I wouldn't pass out after the second question 00:02:33.040 --> 00:02:39.460 I was unable to muster enough strength to even speak. I was so tired. I was just ready to die like those times 00:02:39.460 --> 00:02:41.780 Where you get a sharp pain in your abdomen and think 00:02:41.780 --> 00:02:42.520 THIS IS IT 00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:44.720 and then a few minutes go by and you're like 00:02:44.720 --> 00:02:48.400 *Cricket noises* 00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:53.560 Oh? I was ready for the sweet release of death when one of the nurses shoved a bendy straw in my mouth 00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:56.800 They force-fed me apple juice and after a few minutes 00:02:56.810 --> 00:03:00.560 I was able to come back when the original doctor saw what happened 00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:05.630 He freaked out because I didn't completely fill the bag. They didn't even know if they could use it 00:03:05.630 --> 00:03:08.620 *Triggered Exhale* 00:03:08.620 --> 00:03:13.180 All I got out of it was a bag of cheez-its and a huge bruise covering most of my arm 00:03:13.180 --> 00:03:17.580 I hope you guys like this silly sad tale um 00:03:17.580 --> 00:03:21.720 But anyway donating a blood is important if you can I highly suggest doing it it 00:03:21.740 --> 00:03:26.360 Helps save so many lives, so please donate whenever you can in your community and peace 00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:34.180 *curse word that might get this video demonitized*having nine siblims... siblims!!!(LMAO) 00:03:34.180 --> 00:03:37.800 *Prepare for mumbles* 00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:53.520 Too late *XD* 00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:55.600 MKay bye
