Not afraid at all. Don't really enjoy watching my own blood being drawn, so I turn away. But veins are fascinating. I don't think I'd mind being a phlebotomist. My veins are prone to blowing which is incredibly painful, and IVs tend to infiltrate and cause super swelling and pain. My daughter however is super afraid of needles. When she was 2 she fainted after getting immunizations. The nurses panicked cause they had never seen someone so young faint from needles. So now if she needs shots or blood work they have her already laying down. She gets pale and sometimes throws up. Poor kid.
