Blood tests
Triple G, do blood tests hurt? I'm getting my first one soon, and I'm scared. i trust my doctor, because whenever she gives me a shot, i'm thinking in my head 'this is what i was afraid about?' But sometimes, her assistant does a shot, and it hurts like HE double hockey sticks. I no i can just ask for my doctor to do it, but I've seen blood tests. It's scary, especially if the wrong person is doing it. My sister went to one when she was three, and the lady, not my doctor, was so good. She talked to my sister, let her watch disney channel, and did it while she was watching. And no crying! But do blood test feel like a normal shot? If so, I would let my doctor do it. If not, I'll go to the one my ssiter went to. But why a blood test? Can't they give a urin test?

Blood tests can test for many medical things that urine tests can't. They do feel much as a shot does - after all, it's still a needle entering your skin.
Rather than using the needle to insert something into you, they use the needle to gently draw blood out.
If you feel confident with your doctor, definitely request the doctor to do the test if possible. It's quick, and you can always look away or carry on a conversation with the doctor while it's happening.
Best of luck.
