another late night/early morning post from me. don't worry, i have been sleeping, it's just that i just got my vitals taken, a new IV complete with antibiotics, and more blood drawn, so i'm a little more awake than the normal late-night nurse visit. so i was feeling like checking email and other wonders brought to me by the world wide interwebs. while doing so, i thought i'd place a question, not unlike my friend tib's question of the day. so here goes.
Why do doctors, nurses, and the like, say, "you're going to feel a little pressure here." when really they mean anything from, "i'm about to stab you with a needle so don't even think about moving." to, "i'm about to inflict pain upon you the likes of which you may never have experienced before." Really? PRESSURE?? THAT'S what they've taught yo to say in all those years of medical school? I'll show you some pressure....
ok, now back to sleep.

Okay so your entire episode kinda reminds me of this comedy routine that Brian Regan does. Go to you tube, search Brian Regan Emergency Room Part One. Then you need to watch emergency room part two and then the doctor one. This will answer your pressure question.
Here's another good one - "just a little pinch" That one is one of my favorites. I hope you get feeling better soon! Make sure to take it easy or I'll make sure to come up there and show you what a little pressure a prego woman can dish out! :) Love ya!
ah man... you fixed it - it said "i'll so you a little pressure" i liked so. i'm going to keep saying "i'll so you pressure!"
i know! it's weird, that's what they said to me before my undercarriage exploded and a baby came out.
I freaking hate it when they do that.
Let's just call a stab a stab.
