Hospitals
 

Anyone else terrified by them? I always thought I would hate them, but never realized how much until I was in one as a patient for the first time. Jesus...

Absolutely fucking hate 'em. Terrified's not the word, just don't like 'em at all.

It's freaky. If I never have to be in one again it'll be too soon.

I like the vibe and way it looks. I don't like the sick and injured people.

I hate hate hate hate haaate them. I avoid going. I have broken bones and not gone in. I have had cuts badly in need of stitches and not gone in. Only time I go is when my ear infections get bad enough that I'm deaf, I have a concussion, or Derek forces me to go to the ER when I'm really really sick. I fight him the whole way there and bawl my eyes out and pout but he doesn't fall for that anymore.

Once I get within a block of the place I start having panic attacks and hyperventilating. Even going to visit dying people, or once I had to take Derek to the ER cause he was really sick. I just panic. I get jumpy, I over analyze any germy situations, and I have hit the blood sample taking lady on more than one occasion.

Plus side to hospitals: I can distract myself by looking at other people's open wounds. Last time I went (the time I brought derek) a man had cut open his knee really deep and I could see the bone and watched him get stitches. It was pro.

@Posher: why were you in the hospital? :(

I don't have a problem with them. I've even stayed in a couple a few times. The only thing is just when ya go to sleep, a nurse comes in to poke ya.

...exactly what you were waiting for, eh Posh? ;)

The only thing I hate about them is the smell. Horrible. I can't stand that smell, of like old people, anasceptic, BO and leather. Nasty, ewlgh!

Can't stand hospitals. I will do anything to avoid going to a doctor.

We have a fairly new hospital in town that is actualy very nice. It's build with a large outdoor garden/courtyard in the center and is decorated in a warm relaxing style. We go out of our way to go there instead of the nightmare inducing horrors of the older hospitals in town.
