Speaker 1: Anna, you had to get give blood. I had to
Speaker 1: give blood. What's going on with us? We're both either
Speaker 1: falling apart or we're both having to do blood stuff.
Speaker 1: You go first, Well, quick question for you on the
Speaker 1: blood stuff. Are you okay with needles?
Speaker 2: No? I'm not at all okay with needles.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 2: I've never been okay with needles, like even shots. But
Speaker 2: something about a needle that has to stay in your
Speaker 2: arm for a period of time, like what while the
Speaker 2: blood comes out does not sit well with me. So actually,
Speaker 2: when I was getting my blood work done, I passed out.
Speaker 2: But that's not that's not uncommon, like it happens frequently.
Speaker 2: I actually should have worn them ahead of time.
Speaker 4: Do they stop like when you pass out? Do they
Speaker 4: wait for you to come back to life for that?
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know because I'm the only one
Speaker 2: in the room. But then they're like laying me back.
Speaker 2: They bring me a cold compre compress compress, put it
Speaker 2: on my head, some apple juice and a cookie, and yeah,
Speaker 2: then I just come back to it.
Speaker 4: Who needs medicine? All it takes is apple juice and
Speaker 4: a cookie and your back life. I should have been
Speaker 4: a drug addict. I actually it's not too late. I
Speaker 4: am you know, I might that might be my second life.
Speaker 4: I am so good with needles.
Speaker 1: It's crazy because I go give blood a lot, you know,
Speaker 1: like I ay when I say give blood. I've given
Speaker 1: blood at the American Red Cross. The only problem is
Speaker 1: they spam call you and text you NonStop afterwards. But
Speaker 1: I have to give blood for work all the time
Speaker 1: because or for my health all the time, because I
Speaker 1: had that hard thing. So I go give blood all
Speaker 1: the time, and it's no big deal to me.
Speaker 5: Anna.
Speaker 1: The hardest thing is trying to find my veins through
Speaker 1: my big fat arms.
Speaker 5: You got to drink.
Speaker 1: And the other thing that's interesting is I actually give
Speaker 1: myself shots because of I have that weight loss shot
Speaker 1: that I do, So I'm good with that. My thing
Speaker 1: is this, And I don't know where you went, but
Speaker 1: I went to a place right by the radio station.
Speaker 1: And the problem was the place that I went to.
Speaker 1: I walked in and there were a lot of sketchy
Speaker 1: people in there. And when I mean sketchy, I'm talking
Speaker 1: barbed wire tattoos.
Speaker 5: I'm talking talking.
Speaker 1: Kevin described this person perfectly when we were talking about
Speaker 1: the tattoos, like there was a room full of and
Speaker 1: I'm not lying to you when I say this, because
Speaker 1: they all were talking about it. Hepatitis, they were checking out,
Speaker 1: there were DNA, there was drug. This place does testing
Speaker 1: of more than just blood. And so I'm sitting in
Speaker 1: the waiting room and I'm looking around and I'm seeing
Speaker 1: some people that I think doctor Reynolds at Reynolds Orthodonyx
Speaker 1: could have gotten some patience from. And I'm looking around, going, guys,
Speaker 1: I'm here for my heart. I just want you guys
Speaker 1: to know. It's just I got I have this like
Speaker 1: heart thing that happened to me. I had an aneurysm
Speaker 1: heart like I'm explaining it to these people because I
Speaker 1: don't want them looking at me, going.
Speaker 5: There's heppetite right there. He's in with the rest of them.
Speaker 1: It's wild because then they call you back the place
Speaker 1: that I went to, and Anna, you tell me what
Speaker 1: yours was. You get an appointment online and then you
Speaker 1: go in and your name is on the.
Speaker 5: TV screen there have you. You know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2: Mine was not like that. Mine was like a doctor's
Speaker 2: office and they just had like a little room back.
Speaker 1: There minus h It was a I'll shout it out.
Speaker 1: It was Quest. It was a company called Quest Diagnostics.
Speaker 5: Heard of them.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's the plug bell for anybody when you need
Speaker 1: to give blood, because if you have a heart issue
Speaker 1: like me, or appatitis like her, not you anna, but
Speaker 1: the person she was telling.
Speaker 2: Me labs general labs. Let's make that clear.
Speaker 1: This woman was telling me about her appatitis, which I
Speaker 1: kept thinking to myself at that moment. It was kind
Speaker 1: of like, you know when people say that they have
Speaker 1: COVID or do they have a friend that has COVID,
Speaker 1: you kind of like move away from them. I'm like,
Speaker 1: do I sit here? I don't know what I, potential
Speaker 1: lee should do. But it's weird when you go to
Speaker 1: the doctor, and I don't know if you guys have
Speaker 1: experienced this, if you go to the doctor, you go
Speaker 1: to the doctor because you need to do something, and
Speaker 1: you feel like you need to tell everybody that you're
Speaker 1: not sick or that you are just there for general stuff.
Speaker 1: Like I always feel like I have to now tell
Speaker 1: somebody that's in the waiting room with me.
Speaker 5: Is that what you did when you start finding out
Speaker 5: who you're in the room with.
Speaker 1: I do like I'm looking across the way at me,
Speaker 1: and there's you know, there's this guy that is standing
Speaker 1: there and he's coughing the whole time. I hate the coffers,
Speaker 1: the coffers inside there. But and also do you talk
Speaker 1: to the person that gives you it takes your blood.
Speaker 4: You got to have a conversation. Something interesting you said
Speaker 4: in the waiting room. I try to find a seat
Speaker 4: that's away from everybody. And it's almost like the journal, like,
Speaker 4: don't pee right next to me. If we go to
Speaker 4: a hospital and there are chairs everywhere, find the furthest
Speaker 4: chair away from me, and as people walk in, allow
Speaker 4: them to don't come sit next to me with a
Speaker 4: highlights of magazine and trying to bring up a conversation
Speaker 4: like stale, sick ass over there. I'm gonna stay over here.
Speaker 4: You're not trying to cross contaminate.
Speaker 1: I sit in the the fat person chair or the
Speaker 1: double person double boy.
Speaker 5: It's comfortable. Yeah, I'm with it. Hold on, Nicole, what's
Speaker 5: going on? Nicole? How are you?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 5: What the hell on? Say that again? You were sounds
Speaker 5: like hepatitis.
Speaker 6: I said, I'm good, how are you fantastic?
Speaker 5: What's I'm good? Now?
Speaker 1: My blood test actually came back. I just patted. It
Speaker 1: actually looks good.
Speaker 6: Awesome, that's great news.
Speaker 3: I mean, can't start any anything better than that.
Speaker 6: So my son, he's had vaccines when he was younger.
Speaker 7: Recently, I took him in he while he was thirteen
Speaker 7: at the time, and they're like, oh, if you do
Speaker 7: for this vaccine.
Speaker 6: I'm like, yeah, sure, go ahead. So they give him
Speaker 6: the vaccine and we're getting ready to check out.
Speaker 5: He's like, my heart's.
Speaker 6: Racing and I was like, well, you're probably just you know,
Speaker 6: the needle, because he was a little fray of needles.
Speaker 6: And he's like yeah, but I don't feel well. I
Speaker 6: feel like I'm going to pass out.
Speaker 7: And I was like, oh, hurry right out, leave and
Speaker 7: we go to the waiting room.
Speaker 6: I said, we'll go ahead and sit down. It's like,
Speaker 6: go to the front desk just to ask because.
Speaker 5: This has never happened before.
Speaker 7: And I was like, is there like a reaction to,
Speaker 7: you know, the vaccine at all that he has just got?
Speaker 7: And as I'm looking at him, I see him jolting,
Speaker 7: like he's leaning over and jolting.
Speaker 6: And I'm I'm like, oh my gosh. I was like,
Speaker 6: something's wrong, and I'm freaking out.
Speaker 7: The doctors are looking at me, and I was like,
Speaker 7: what to ask you guys?
Speaker 6: I was like, I was thinking there was something in
Speaker 6: the vaccine. So all these doctors and nurses came over
Speaker 6: and they're just like very lottyedy loddy DoD. They're looking
Speaker 6: at me and they're smiling. And I was like, like,
Speaker 6: did I do something wrong?
Speaker 7: She's like, oh, he probably just passed out, honey, this
Speaker 7: happens all the time.
Speaker 6: That they did something to him. Was like scene, wow, Yeah,
Speaker 6: it scared me. And he came back and he looked
Speaker 6: at me like what just happened. He's like, why are
Speaker 6: you Why are you holding on to me? Why are
Speaker 6: you staring at me? I was like, you just passed out.
Speaker 6: Oh scared me so bad. I thought that he was
Speaker 6: like dying or something.
Speaker 1: If he's a little guy with that, which I you know,
Speaker 1: is understandable, if that grows into his adulthood, what happens
Speaker 1: if he becomes a grown man that passes out or
Speaker 1: has problems with needles?
Speaker 5: Do women look at you guys differently?
Speaker 3: His dad actually does, Yes, it does. When I gave
Speaker 3: birth to our son, I'm you know, I had to
Speaker 3: get a C section, and Dad was standing over me.
Speaker 6: As soon as he saw a little bit of blood,
Speaker 6: he starts. He was like, oh my gosh, I'm going
Speaker 6: to pass out. And all the doctors and nurses came
Speaker 6: over to him, and I'm laying on the table. I
Speaker 6: was like, they're giving him the stiffic. So I'm like, hey,
Speaker 6: what about me? So I totally forgot about that when
Speaker 6: he got.
Speaker 5: That great topic.
Speaker 6: Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1: We should do that as a topic sometime, and thank
Speaker 1: you for the call. We should do that as a
Speaker 1: topic sometime of guys who who needed more medical attention
Speaker 1: in the delivery rooms than their birthing wives did. What's
Speaker 1: going on, Samantha, how you doing?
Speaker 4: Hi?
Speaker 8: So I used to live in California and out there
Speaker 8: they have like their version of Medicaid, the government insurance.
Speaker 6: They assign you a doctor you don't get to pick.
Speaker 8: And I went to my primary care doctor appointment that
Speaker 8: was inside of a methodome clinic, oh j And while
Speaker 8: I was sitting in a waiting room, a bunch of
Speaker 8: you know, the people there getting their daily treatments, were
Speaker 8: all sitting there talking and I just know that I
Speaker 8: had the most like sank face, just like getting on
Speaker 8: the dirtiest look, and the one woman looked sober for
Speaker 8: at me across from across the room, and she says,
Speaker 8: why are you looking like that.
Speaker 6: We're all do batic toe you. I said, oh, no,
Speaker 6: we're not.
Speaker 1: The last time I went there, uh see, I actually
Speaker 1: found it to be very interesting the place that I
Speaker 1: went to, and I thought that I'm going to go
Speaker 1: back again if I ever have to go get a test,
Speaker 1: just because everybody was having great conversations. Nobody was quiet
Speaker 1: about it, like normally when I go to the doctor,
Speaker 1: everybody is so secretive about their health. There, everybody's telling
Speaker 1: you everything about themselves. I've had sex with.
Speaker 8: Having a great time chatting about it in the center,
Speaker 8: and I'm sitting there just a pall, like what.
Speaker 1: No, we actually it's the funny thing. We were talking
Speaker 1: about the closest Raising Canes like we were some lady
Speaker 1: was afterwards, She's like, when I give my blood. After
Speaker 1: I give my blood, I'm going to Raising Canes to
Speaker 1: get a sweet tea, and I'm like, we're going to
Speaker 1: have the best day ever. And then we're gonna go
Speaker 1: to the methadone clinic on floor number two,
