Hi, my adult son seriously doesn't like needles. He had a canula inserted after sedation at the dentist + was ok with that because of the sedation. Our Dr wants to do some blood tests on him as "he hasn't had any in ages" (probably never). At present he's recovering from a chesty cough which he's been taking antibiotics for but isn't fully recovered from. Maybe it's a viral rather than a bacterial infection. My son saw me having blood drawn years ago + nearly jumped out of his skin. I should have prepared him better, I know. I'm at the Drs for blood tests today so will have a word with the nurse to see if she can be any help regarding him but if anyone has any advice, please reply.
