ROTF..

Many years ago... I was at McGill in a physiology or bio lab.. anyway we had to take our own blood sample.. the old nasty stabber in the thumb deal.. I fainted trying to do it to myself.. The remarkable thing is that I have had quite a few accidents with blood gushing out, etc. get the thing stopped and carry on no problem.. but my body revolts at the thought of self inflicted blood letting or non crisis situations.. :o) Another time doing a hardware installation.. (cowboy computer days) I cut myself (stabbed near thumb) cutting a cable binder.. with an exacto.. blood spurting like a Monty Python skit.. My Indian buddy went white than me.. got the blood stopped with one of the ladies there.. butterfly bandage.. wrap it up and back to work.. Went to emerge maybe 6 hours later to get it checked (tetanus) . Doc says oh you're good for three of four stitches.. OK.. so he starts in on the stitching and I fell off the bed I was sitting on.. (fainted) as I watched the skin etc stretch with the stitching.. He says oh I didn't tell you to look away after hearing your story.. .. I guess adrenaline really works for me anyway LOL

I have a few good stories of amazing reaction under stress.. and wussing out otherwise LOL
