Sharp scratch!

Aingeful profile image
12 Replies

Back in hospital! I came in after slipping on my friend's stairs (I live in a bungalow and I am not used to them). Ive hurt my hip but also have a chest infection. I get really cheesed off with the numerous injections and being given the "sharp scratch " routine.its not a sharp scratch, its a blooming big needle being stuck into my arm and it hurts like hell! Say it like it is! 😞

Oh Aingeful! Those pesky stairs. Ouch to that sharp scratch too, not nice. Thinking of you and hoping you feel better soon.

Love and gentle hugs xxx🤗❤️😘

whoever came up with the bright idea of training them to use such a stupid and condescending expression never had a needle jabbed into them!

I'm with you and have always thought that the phrase ''sharp scratch'' was a silly description of any injection. I wish you a speedy recovery and return to your own home xx

totally agree Sheila. I usually say sharp scratch before them as I know whats coming. They must be taught to say this in their training as they all say same thing. Another one is "your doing well"

Hope you get better soon and are,able to go home. Good luck

Sheila xx 🙏💕

Sorry to hear about your slip on the stairs. I hope your hip improves, and you have antibiotics for your chest infection.

I totally agree with the sharp scratch thing. I have loads of blood tests, and they are never a scratch!
