May the Nurse's Force Be With You

When a Nurse enters a hospital room carrying an injection, patients react in many different ways. Some pull the covers over their heads, many show immediate signs of relief, others start to whimper, and some have been known to prepare for a knock-down-drag-out confrontation. Hopefully, you have never had a patient become violently aggressive. What kind of reactions have you seen?

Just a patient--- I'm disabled and in a wheelchair due to CP and I have to say shots really don't bother me all that much, even when I was little. Many nurses have told me that I have really nice veins. Only a nurse would get excited over veins.:happy:
