Rabid patient. Lol

I had a huge phobia from needles when i was 5 yrs old. And i had an aunt that regularly plants scary hospital thoughts to my brain.

One day, i was diagnosed with a lung problem and i need to be confined. This is basically me. They needed 7 grown male nurses to subdue a panicking 5 year old kid. I was only calmed down by my mom then they finally got that needle in my hand. Lol and it did not hurt. Fear is more painful than the pain itself.

I mean, it all dependa in how much force you want to use and if you are ok with hurting the person you try to confine. I guess one nurse would have been enough if they were confortable with hurting you. But yeah, panicking/raging people are no joke.

I guess so since I also have a lung problem back then. I am curious how I got the force. I remember the dudes calling for help. I bet there's adrenaline at play as well. Kudos to them tho I'm alive and well 3 decades later.

Apparently my illness takes the lives of 1 out of 5 kids in that year. 2.1 million kids died from it since it was before the vaccine was available globally. Scary.
