Blackout experiences

For whatever reason, I get lightheaded when I hear people talking about anything medical in detail. I'm perfectly fine when I see it, or even when it happens to me, but my imagination somehow does something crazy when I hear it.

The first time was after donating blood back in high school. I was sitting at the table, munching on my cookies and sipping juice, when the two people next to me start recounting giving blood for whatever reason. I was already low on blood, and with them talking about needle punctures and the like, it just quickly got to me. I passed out on the table.

The other time was before I got my wisdom teeth pulled. I had to see the oral surgeon where he would explain the process to me and such. Of course, they are required to tell me what can go wrong, even in the rare cases. Even though I knew those things wouldn't happen to me, his explanations were very detailed, and it caused me to pass out and fall on the floor. The surgery was almost called off as a result, but I insisted. Of course, the actual surgery had no problems.

And ironically enough (since this topic is about blackouts), the day I got my wisdom teeth pulled was when that huge blackout hit the Northeast US for a couple days in 2003.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
