blood test

A blood test is never pleasant, 
You have to be fasting, drink only water,
Move to the laboratory early in the morning
Say hello to unknown nurses,

It is necessary to endure an injection in the arm, 
Watch your blood gush like a river
To fill, one, two or three test tubes,
Some sick people pass out,

But the hardest part starts when you leave,
We must wait for the results, good or bad,
So better not to think about it too much,
Go to the cinema to see a good movie.
A blood test is a headache.

Plain and relatable, this poem captures the small dread of a blood test, from fasting to waiting for results, yet softens it with a simple remedy distraction and life’s little comforts.

Good advice. I often hope for a pretty nurse. I find it helps. I hate making an appointment...and then still having to sit in the office for an hour before being seen. Just medical numbers.

Hi Yann, I lost count on the number of blood tests I had to undergo. By next year I already have a notice of one.

Gosh all my blood tests are fairly simple and fast. What I really hate are these epidural injections in the hip that I have been getting. Talk about painful. Yikes!

…say hello to unknown nurses, those strangers who are invasive… Ô ciel miséricordieux! I actually watch them take my blood…under my studious eyes I would catch a mistake! Always, we hope for the best. Oui! Keep your mind off the waiting for results. Hope everything is okay, mon amie!

i think i won't read results by mail, will let doctor do their job, wonderful and warm comment to soothe my health a bit have a nice day

Yann, especially if you have not been feeling well and are concerned about an out-of-range result. However, I think most of the time those tests don't catch anything until a person is in really bad shape physically. Don't worry about it just go on about your daily affairs and all will come out okay. Thanks for sharing this hope it is a friend or someone else and not you. Or a memory form the past. Sara K

This is exactly what happens if we go for a blood test. When blood is pumped into syringes, we feel that the nurses are draining out our whole blood. So, better avoid unnecessary routine blood tests. Your advice is seriously taken into consideration, Yaan. An enjoyable read.
