I have to draw blood on an ER patient. She is a 15 year old who is deathly scared of needles. She started crying and told her mom to sing her a song.
Mom: “What do you want me to sing?”
Daughter: “You know, that song that we sing at camp.”
Mom: “Which song is that?”
Daughter: “I’m not sure. Just make one up.”
Mom started singing a song but daughter again cried and said, “Mom, stop that!”
Mom just laughed and just started talking to her until I got done drawing her blood. Thank God it’s over! At least mom was very supportive to us and even sang for her teenage daughter in the ER.
