Thanks for this! Mind you, as much as I understand the importance and need of such procedures, that doesn't make me any less terrified. I've had all sorts of absurd injuries over the years all over my body and I am in no ways frightened or disguised of any bodily fluids. That said, I am terrified of the idea of such a procedure. Same with dental work - I abhor the feeling of anything being done to my teeth. Getting a wisdom tooth pulled out was arguably the most terrifying thing I've ever experienced. A needle going into my eyeball wouldn't feel any less terrifying.
