OMG!.. Injection lesson today and boy was that their way of handing us a Christmas present.. Theory was up first followed by the practical.. And as fate would have it, it was more or less the repetition of what happened during IV lesson..
Right, when it got to my turn.. I asked my partner to inject me first.. I have no idea why but I would always wanna go first for this kinda things.. O.o Yeap, go figure.. LOL.. So anyways, I was given 4ml or injection water.. Bet your like thinking, it's just 4ml.. No biggie right?.. Think again.. In terms of that amount of liquid going into your body.. IT'S ALOT!!!..
I could feel the needle going into body, poked the skin, passing through it and on into the muscle.. Guess since it's almost every week that we get poked, having a needle in the body feels.. Well, normal already.. The really, and I mean really painful part came when the water was injected in.. At first it didn't really hurt.. Controlled the pain, slowly.. And it built up to a point where it seriously got intense.. How'd I react your asking?.. Well, picture this.. If you watched the movie Home Alone 3, the part where the rat crawled into the baddies pants and the other baddie took a baseball bat to whack his wankie?.. Yeap, as embarrassing as it may sound, that was the sound that I made.. -.-
And pretty soon, I was attracting a crowd.. Since all my course mates were sitting down, their heads popped up like mushrooms from the ground.. LOL.. They wanted to see what all the commotion was all about.. And I think I kinda made a few of them scared from my reactions cause honestly, me and my buddy were one of the first few to do it.. =X And a few of them laughed too.. They said my reaction was priceless and it was a waste not to record any of it down.. One of them even said it looked like the Predator from the way my mouth was moving.. Haha..
So after all that, sat down and before u know it.. Face and lips turned pale..
AGAIN.. Sigh.. I must seriously stop doing this.. Yeap, so another day of pain, all in the life of a medic.. But honestly, it was seriously fun and if I had to do it all over again.. No hesitations!.. (:
