I am fine with whatever they want to test me for in the medical.

However, my partner is terrified of needles. I mean, like no other person I know. I said I would find out for her if any injections/blood samples were required as part of the medical in the hope it will either put her mind at rest (if no needles are involved), or help her prepare for what is to come.

Thanks

Hi Rick,

Yes there is a blood test done in the medical.

Eek,

I will break it to here gently I think! Maybe Ill lie to her, and say there isnt one. And then on the day.... "SURPRISE!!!!"

I have a friend who virtually passes out if you even mention a needle. Deals with blood and gore as a first aider at work but can't handle needles and syringes at all.

In order for her to have an injection, blood taken, her Mum gets her permission then when she passes out at the Drs, orders them to do it while she's out cold!! I sympathise.......

Radlam

Yeah that sounds just the same. Its even got that bad, that anything resembling a needle makes her go light headed!
