Meltdowns at the doctors office

Post Reply New Topic

I never had a problem at the doctors. I used to be terrified of anything going inside me until 6th grade and that included needles. I remember mom had to hold me down once when I was seven when I was getting my ear cleaned out. The doctor didn't even knock me out for it. Then when I was 14 I was scared to go again for my other ear because of what happened when I was 7. I didn't have to be hold down at all but I was still scared what was going to happen and they did knock me out before pulling the tube out of my ear. When mom had to take me into ER when i got stung by a bee and had the stinger in me still, Mom also had to hold me down. Those were the only times where I ever had incidents at the doctors. I did have to have my husband hold me down when I was 24 when I had my uterus being cleaned out when I had a miscarriage and they should have knocked me out for that too. I couldn't stop moving and they needed me to be still so my husband held me down. I demanded to have an epidural when I was going through labor two years ago because I am still traumatized by the pain I went through. So it's a sensitive spot for me when I see anyone say women are wussies for wanting drugs for labor because they can't bare the pain. So it's an insult for someone who has suffered a miscarriage and had to go through massive pain for it and being told labor hurts more. People come off as heartless when they call women wussies for not doing it natural. By that logic people with PTSD are wussies. See how heartless I just sounded?
