Bleeding Test & 8 tubes of blood

I had 8 tubes of blood drawn and a Bleeding test done yesterday.
Interestingly, when the blood was drawn from me, it was in an open-concept room.
When I went in for the bleeding test, it was in a VERY secretive room.
For a moment, I felt trapped with this pretty lady sitting in front of me.
Then of all things to tell a patient, she told me "Oh... This is going to be more painful than that." (pointing to my left arm)
YIKES!
I sort of gave out a weak shriek and told her my arm is in her hands... Do what she wants.

Anyway, from my internet research, the method that was executed on me was called The Ivy Method.
She first strapped the blood pressure cuff on my upper arm and added some pressure.
Then she used a "staple" like thingy to cut a slit on the underside of my arm.
The minute she slit me, she clicked the stop watch and she took out a big round filter.
This filter is suppose to draw my blood every 30seconds.
Hum... Internet research says normal clotting time is 5mins.
I think mine took slightly a tiny itsy bitsy weeny bit longer.

Actually, each time I take my jabs, I can't help but think - This is only a small hole. What about that nail that drove through the hands and feet of Jesus.
As I saw the blood flow, I have several thoughts.
1) Quick stop flowing!
2) Wah... my blood so red one ah?
3) This blood is indeed much lesser than if it was pierced with a nail. OuCh!

Well... Results will be out in 3 weeks time!

And till then, I am 8 tubes of blood short, 1 extra hole in my bruised left arm and 1 slit on my right arm.

And OH! Did I mentioned?

I was so afraid that I'll faint that I prepared myself with a packet of Chocolate Milk...! :)

Yum yum!!!!
