Today, I had my blood drawn for a lab test. I was then given a container so I could give a urine sample. In the middle of peeing, I got woozy, started blacking out, and hit my head against the wall. A nurse discovered me with my pants down. FML
nerdsgetmehot tells us more.
So...A little back story. I went to the doctor to get tests because I often feel faint and dizzy in the mornings and it's quite an inconvenience. Just last week, when I took my cat to the vet, I ended up starting to black out randomly. Pretty embarrassing and obviously super inconvenient, as I had to drive home afterwards and was doubtful about whether or not I was okay enough to drive home. I get to the verge of fainting often enough to concern me. I've gotten a few tests over the years, but my doctor remains largely unconcerned about it. She thinks it's just my very low blood pressure, but I do everything I can to help that. I drink lots of water, eat salty snacks, and never get up too quickly-- but it doesn't help. So, ironically, I ended up fainting at a doctors' appointment to look into why I keep almost fainting. To answer some frequently asked questions: No, the nurse wasn't "impressed." I'm a female. Also, I think me lying on the floor immobile kind of killed the mood.

Sounds legit... At least it wasn't some random guy that saw you... It could always be worse op, just remember that.

What does that have to do anything with this FML?

Don't worry op, us nurses have seen almost everything. You wouldn't be the first person he/she picked up off a bathroom floor.

They usually give you a juice after...too bad

Not here, they don't... Unless you're -giving- blood. I don't think taking a couple vials of blood requires juice immediately afterwards, like giving blood does.

Oh you poor thing. Well, she's a nurse so pretty sure she's seen worse things and was more worried about helping you and will hopefully forget it soon enough...And it was only your pants right? RIGHT??

OP never said the nurse was female.

If you were fasting for the blood draw, I think they should have told you to rest a bit before getting up again.

Science, deity, heist, heir, and neither...just pointing out how stupid that "rule" is

71 hypoglycemia is a low blood sugar level. It's just called a blood glucose test when they draw blood :)

#28 Even though I wasn't fasting for the blood test, they did make me rest a bit before getting up. I still fainted. Ironically, I got the blood test because I tend to faint or almost faint quite a bit.

Ouch nerds, sorry to hear that.
