Are you afraid of needles? (Trypanophobia)

I've always been afraid of needles. Once, I freaked out so bad I screamed like crazy when the nurse came at me with the needle. The nurse and my mom had to hold me down tight. I was so scared I couldn't even think straight. Having my mom there helped me feel a bit better, even though it was still scary as heck.

I wouldn't say afraid. I think it's just a phobia. I can triage a bleeding person. I can think clearly in times of danger.
Take my blood though? Hell no, I'll pass out.
