I have serious needle anxiety. So when the doctor said, a minor surgery need to happen in my left eye to take care of a small cyst, I freaked out !!
And the Dr. was not helping much ! No talk, no explanation of how the procedure is going to be. He just said, come over when you have 30-40 mins, and we will do it. I kept asking for what the procedure would be.. a run down !
He did not answer the question - but asked, "was there any injury in the eye ?" I thought back and remembered a bad poke in my eye months ago in that portion, by my own spectacle frame !
He asked, was it painful ? I said, yes .. painful for almost a few hours, but then life moved on.
Then he said, were you afraid before that happened ? I said NO.. I did not know it was coming !! So there is no way I would have been afraid :)
He said, this surgery will be almost painless, in comparison to that. Only difference is that, you know when the needle will go in. Of course followed by a warm smile.
I got it done, the next day !!
