How Manny Pacquiao can Handle his Fear of Getting Blood Drawn!!!!!

[Cash Cow]

Does the thought of having blood drawn at your doctor's office send a chill up your spine, or even worse make you feel lightheaded? This fear isn't as uncommon as you might think, although some people are hesitant to talk about it at risk of seeming cowardly or strange. Interestingly, this fear seems to be more common in men than in women, although it affects both sexes. If you want to stay healthy, fear of getting blood drawn is important one to overcome since a tube of blood can tell you so much about your general health. Here are some ways to lessen your fear of venipuncture.

Don't hide your fear.

Although you may be embarrassed by your fear, it's important to let the lab technician know before getting blood drawn, particularly if you have a tendency to become lightheaded. Once the technician is aware, she can take special steps to help you feel more comfortable during the procedure. For example, she can have you lie down in one of the exam rooms instead of drawing your blood in an uncomfortable sitting position. Keep in mind that doctors, nurses, and technicians encounter this problem all the time and can readily accommodate your fear.

If you fear pain from the needlestick

Generally people who are afraid of getting blood drawn fall into two different categories; those who fear the pain of a needlestick and those who fear seeing blood removed from their body. If you fall into the first category, ask the technician to use a butterfly needle for your venipuncture. These needles are much smaller and are usually less painful than standard needles. Most technicians will be happy to do this. Another option is to ask them to use a local anesthetic spray to numb the area before sticking you. Most doctor's offices have this spray readily available and it can be quite effective. If you fear the sight of or loss of blood.....

you know what, i think Floyd is the one who's afraid of Manny..demanding all these ridiculos olympic drug tests

remember, i believe this is the first time in boxing history that someone had to take a olympic style drug test just because of some crackheads allegation

how low can you get? passing NSAC test for the 10th time is not enough?

If he had nothing to hide...why not take it? People said Mayweather was afraid to fight @ 147...he wouldnt fight with 8 oz gloves...he doesnt want to fight in March...etc etc...he agreed to all this madness and even the 10 million dollar over every lb thing.......

yet manny doesnt want blood drawn?

Handle it the same way when he got inked up.

if i were pacquiao, i'd take the drug test on one condition:
if i come up clean, mayweather senior would be put on jail together with uncle roger and at the night of the fight floyd mayweather would wear make-up and lipstick!!!
hell, that's what i'd demand too.
if they cant put the older mayweathers in jail, flowd wearing make-up and lipstick would do! pacquiao should think of some crazy stuff to demand of them too, it's mental games- there's alot of mentals in the philippines. i'm filipino, ako ay pilipino, taas no-o kahit kanino.

it's a matter of principle, Pac has been tested numerous times & came back negative so whats there to prove?

so what if he agrees to the test & came back negative? what's next? Floyd would demand Pac to give DNA sample to check if he's human?
