Watching countless of these videos helps with getting over the fear. I hope.

I'm watching this from a hospital bed and I got an I.V for the first time...and it hurts like a freakin b!%&*!! Omg....

[MrstartjOfficial]

The needles here aren't that big. But SHIT! I would tell the nurse or whoever it is administrating the IV to use a way smaller needle. That shit too big for me

[OBAViJEST]

JESUS CHRIST ITS HUGE

@thesebananatrees its just the thought of a needle that big scares the crap out of me and the fact that they dont take it out right away, lol and well the surgury im getting wont give u pain ill just be really numb so im not scared that scared about it becouse i wont feel it but thiss yeahhh scares me, i know wierd but

[thesebananatrees]

@Erika101Bebe it isn't comfortable, but it doesn't hurt. after it's in there for awhile, you really don't notice it. in any event, i would be more paranoid about getting surgery than i would be of an IV insertion. =x
