Vasovagal syncope is the real issue. But I’ve never figured out how to DEAL with it. I mean, you faint and fall on the floor and THEN they take you seriously? The desensitization doesn’t seem to work for me.

I had a colonoscopy several months ago and the young woman who put the IV in my arm was astounded by the fact that I almost blacked out. Shouldn’t that be medical knowledge 1.01?
