Have you considered wearing a silver cross to your next appointment and seeing if he backs away snarling and hissing? Or perhaps you could offer him a nice swig of holy water.<BR/>Seriously, that would be a heck of a thing to have happen. First they tell you they have to bleed you, but in doing so they make you anemic. I would be frustrated to say the least. Then again, I tend to feel like a lab experiment any time I go to the doctor.Cie Cheesemeisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14871507564733240927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-20812851272289383352009-03-15T19:28:00.000+00:002009-03-15T19:28:00.000+00:00I was anemic myself for a year or two and I rememb...I was anemic myself for a year or two and I remember how utterly exhausted it made me.
