Hi Mark. There really is no way you will be able to dodge it mate. I hate needles just as much as you, and while at doctors he said there is no way, but to draw blood I’m afraid.
I laid down on bench and punched the wall in rhythmic way to cause pain on my knuckles while I got the needle. Yes I know it sounds weird. But the doctor understands some people hate needles, and just give him a word up when you get in the surgery.
Hey, worst case big guy, you feel all woozy, and you go as white as a polo mint. BUT, BUT, when your done, your done, and hopefully you won’t ever drink drive again.
Good luck Mark.
