[glow=navy,2,300]OK, so today I went to get a blood test because last week I went for a check up at the doctor's and she wanted some blood work done (like always). So anyway, I just got done my blood test and I went to use the bathroom. After I was done, I was washing my hands and I started to get really dizzy. Then I remembered opening the bathroom door and then... I woke up on the hallway floor! And no one even noticed me! I woke up and it seemed like I was dreaming, but then I realized wasn't. I went back to the waiting room and no one (not even my mother) suspected that anything had happened because I was only gone a little over a minute.
Oh, and BTW, I didn't post this on the strange things that happened to you today topic becuase it is on the second page and it hasn't been posted on for over a week.[/glow]

*clears throat*
okay, i'm not much of a doctor but i'm gonna guess that after the blood test they probably took out a wee bit too much and that deprived your brain of the blood, and when your brain doesn't get enough blood it messes it all up

You passed out, buddy. It's not that they took too much, it's just sometimes your body goes into a shock when suddenly it has lost so much blood. Don't worry about it, you're fine, the same happened to me when I had my first blood test. Just curious, how many vials did they take?

[glow=navy,2,300]I know I passed out. I also know that many people pass out when they have blood tests. It was the experience that was strange. I had never passed out before.
Oh, and snk, I think they took 4, but it could have been 5.[/glow]

I've passed out from blood tests a couple of times... I think a total of 3. It feels so weird to faint... Especially when you come to

[glow=navy,2,300]Yup. That was about as confused as I have ever been in my life. At first it is a dream, then you realize it isn't. Then you take about 20 seconds to realize where you are and then you have to try to remember exactly what happened. I don't even remember actually blcking out or falling. I remember knowing what was coming, and I think I started to go down slowly before I fell so the fall wouldn't be so bad, but I'm not sure...[/glow]

Holy crap.. 4-5 vials. The most they took of me was 3, I think. Anyway, I hate blood tests..

Not that I'm bragging or anything, but my first time they took 6. Also I've passed out probably around...4 or 5 times. Only 1 of those was from blood tests.

[glow=navy,2,300]It's funny though. When I was 2 and 3 I had pnemonia (sp) twice and mono when I was 10. Durring those times, I've went for plenty of blood tests, but I had never passed out (or even really felt dizzy) from them before.
I used to hate blood tests, but before today I didn't really mind them anymore...[/glow]

I've fainted twice. 1st time i was playing minigolf on a code red day (in VA, that means REALLY F*ING HOT AND HUMID) I got dehydrated, and decided to get orange soda to help. Not a good idea, i passed out immediately.
2nd time was at brother's wedding, it was in colorado, so it was hard to breathe, and it was my first time wearing a tux. The preacher had arranged for me to hold his book. he was like "Mike, can you come over? Mike? Oh jeez, um...Hey, Matt. I need you up here."
