Doctor's Experience: Darkness

I was only six years old but I will never forget that day. That day I was wearing my favorite hot pink skirt, a white t-shirt and pink sandals. My mom was in the room getting my luggage ready and my dad was out getting breakfast. It was New Year’s Eve and we were going to go to my grandmother’s house in Hatillo but I also had an appointment with the doctor to get my third and last hepatitis’s C vaccine. Since I have knowledge I have always hated needles. When I see one or even is someone is talking about them I get dizzy and you can expect me to hit the floor anytime. Even them mention of blood gets me so dizzy that one time in 11th grade I had to run out of my health class since I was about to faint.
“Amanda, turn off that Nintendo and let’s go get you that shot.” My mom said to me and I try to be the slowest I could to turn off the Nintendo. The doctor’s office was in the same street as my house so we went walking. My mom knew how afraid I was of needle so she walk slowly next to me without any complain. When we walked in I saw how the nurse was fighting with the doctor but when she saw me and my mom she stopped and called us in. I started to cry as I saw the needle but the nurse did not care. “Oh child please stop crying and let’s get this over with” she said s she pulled me and without any warning gave me the shot. It hurt so much but at least it was over now. At least I thought.
We want back to my house and my mom started doing my dad’s and her luggage and I went back to my Nintendo. I was about to beat Bowser when suddenly I could not see anything. My sight had gone completely black. Nothing but a complete darkness was the only thing I could see. I put the game to pause and went directly to my mom’s room that was in the last part of the house. Lucky I knew so well the house even though we had move only two months before that I had no problem getting to the room. My mom as soon as she saw me knew that there was something wrong. “What is it Amanda?” she cried. I told her that I could not see and she grab me and rushed to the doctor’s office.
“Is just a reaction to the vaccine” the doctor said as the nurse who had giving me the shot stare at a distance. I was going to be fine and right there I started to see again. Since then I am more afraid of needles and blood like the example of my 11th grade health class. I only think that perhaps if that nurse had been nicer maybe that reaction would had never happen and my fears of needles would be gone years ago. I think this since the doctor also said that the reaction probably was cause by my own fear. I will never forget that day. The day I lost my sight for thirty minutes because of a nurse who use force instead of niceness.
