Whenever anybody goes to the hospital, the last word they want to hear is "injection" What makes them seem so bad is different for everyone. But, it probably has something to do with the fact that they are sticking a needle in your arm and injecting something, or taking your blood. But it's better than catching a serious and possibly fatal disease such as tetanus. As they say, prevention is better than cure. 1 → Stay calm, all the way up to the time of the shot, even on your way to your doctor. You can achieve this by listening to your favorite music, looking out the window, playing a Game Boy, or doing anything else that relaxes you. 2 → Understand that it is just a shot. You are not going to feel anything more than a little prick in your arm, and it is going to help you to stay healthy. Who wants to be home with the flu when their friends are out having fun? TIPS → Realize that the doctor doesn't enjoy sticking needles into bodies. They just want you to be health...
