Can't see mine really. My best mate at school got a right hole in her arm. She had hers done at the doctors though

You just gotta pick scabs though. It's what they're there for

I did though. Used to be so bad with needles but it's just best to look away! |

I'm not sure anyone got away with it in my year. I'm OK with needles but if anyone wants blood I fall to bits!

Mmm don't think I mind blood too much. I would like to give blood. I have never gave blood before. I was going to last year until I chickened out but I should really go and give blood.

I don't bleed. Every single time I've needed blood taken the nurse complains I have no veins I think thats why I hate it as they literally have to root around to get less than a thimble full and I end up black and blue

Oh damn. I can see veins in my wrists clearly. My wrists are really skinny though. Of course they put the needle further up the arm. Mmm I will find out when my local hospital is doing the next blood donation thing. Then I think I should go. It will be benefical for me too. To check my blood type and they also tell you if anything is wrong with you by looking at your blood.

I think my blood is fine. I sometimes think if I have high blood pressure or something. At one time I got really hot and blood rushed all round my head. I just think it would be good for me to know what my blood is like!

Oh. I remember once.. I can't remember what they were measuring but they put something on my arm that squeezed it. It might have measured the rate of my heart or something or blood pressure?
But anyway be interesting to see what blood type I am. Whether it is common or rare or whatever! Last edited by Beastie; 28-01-2011 at 01:25 AM. |

I thought TB jabs for school kids had been abandoned years ago, quick scout around, came up with this from 2005 http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/20...ools.education
Looks like there's obviously been reason to restart it again - it must be on the increase I presume? or perhaps something to do with more people on foreign travels to areas where TB is rampant? |

I'm still thinking along the lines that younger kids now get to travel to places not accessible years ago, where TB is a huge problem - and subsequently, chances of them being in a position/country to catch it, may be bringing it back to the UK hence it might be on the rise here?

More to do with antibiotic resistant strains becoming more prevalent, prevention is better than cure, especially when the cure may not.
It is fair to say some strains are introduced from people coming into the country from areas where TB is relatively common. |

*Slams own forehead* I didn't even consider that we all receive antibiotics far too regularly, leading to possibly becoming more immune as well as the Antib's building resistance. Good point.

Too glam to give a damn

I got my jab for immunisation against Tetanus, Diptheria and Polio. It didn't hurt at all when I got it done, but my arm is killing me now, it's so stiff and I can't lift it or move it about without it hurting :|
