Big man, ‘small heart’!
So much hype about vaccination in recent days. This reminds me of an incident many years ago.
There was this big-sized policeman in an emergency department. He was involved in a minor motor vehicle accident. When the nurse was about to give him an injection on his arm, he jumped out of his bed.
“No, no, no! Not on my arm… maybe my buttock. But wait, wait first!” It took some time before he exposed his back.
“No, no, no! Wait first!” He pulled back his pants.
“OK, let me wipe the skin first. I won’t give you the injection until you are ready. I will wait for you to count up to ten… slowly. Alright, start counting. Open your mouth wide and count!”
“…nine, ten!” And the nurse was already clearing her tray.
He asked, “are you not going to give me the injection?”
“Given already!” The nurse smiled at him as she walked away.
His wife apologized, “sigh! Such a big man, but such a small heart!”

That day in ER, when I saw this big sized policeman being afraid of injection… it was an amusing thought!

Haha! Yeah, I had a friend who felt exactly like that. Faced with a needle, he’d challenge the doctor to a fistfight, and tell him to just collect the blood he needs from the cuts and bruises he’d suffer from the fight!

When young, we used to be frightened of policemen. So it is difficult to imagine a big sized bearded man being afraid of needle!

I would find a needle on my bum more terrifying than the arm. 😆

LOL. Some tough people would faint at the sight of a little blood. Toughness from the outside is just a posture…

It’s funny what different people are afraid of. I’m not afraid of blood or needles, but I am terrified of cockroaches and other scary bugs, even when they are already dead!
