Anxiety and Pointy Things
11 years ago
General
I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in the fact that doctors and dentists, and their various implements, make me feel queasy and make me want to run for the hills.
I'm scheduled for a dental debridement tomorrow, and I'm partly freaking out. I've SEEN vids of the stuff, and even nice looking choppers go all with "the red stuff" when the get "car washed" with that water hose. Needless to say, I think the first lesson of biology is "keep the red stuff IN you, not out". By now, though, it's something to be expected I guess.
Still, I'm hoping that it won't have risks/further complications after it. Hope that doing it is the RIGHT thing to do. Probably the best thing, but when it comes to medical stuff, I'm not much the optimist.
Update: To any concerned, seemed to have went well! Of course, my hesitation of pointy things will remain!

one thing that makes me feel faint is seeing blood on those blue gloves and white coats
