In Phase I research (my arena) we sometimes have protocols that require blood draws every 15 mins for hours (no locks allowed).

Clear your mind, go to your happy place, and don't look. "Combat breathing" helps some: five count in through the nose - pause - five count out through pursed lips. If you can be warm and "barrel up" your veins it can make things easier -- less crochet needle work.

V V response is a powerful reaction, especially if you're very fit. It's usually the very fit males who gork. Nothing to be ashamed of, you big wuss.
