I've no problem with injections, blood etc, but I worked in a hostel a few years ago and one of the residents blocked and filled the toilet to the brim with diarrhoea, a couple of us had to sort it out, I never retched so much.
Watching other people vomit always makes me feel like puking too, especially when that acrid smell goes right up your nose.
And why is it when you go to a party and you see someone throwing up, they're always snogging someone 10 minutes later?

That's actually almost impressive.
Scratch almost.

Yep. I can watch someone put in a contact lens but not surgical procedures.
The other thing that makes me squirm is seeing poeple with nasal gastric tubes. I had to have these several times as a kid and they are just torture to have put in or taken out. Basicaly they go up your nose and then down your throat into your stomach.
Great thread! Eyes- hate opticians!
Have had to endure tons of blood taken, and transfusions, injections every month no problems.
I remember my partner having to leave the room when I had a wound drained, a litre of fluid Wow! 
I don't get that grossed out by things. I like horror films and always handle blood/horrible situations well when I'm there. I'm a trained emergency First Aider so feel confident to help if needed.

Nobody likes a showoff.
Last night's Birdsong had an interesting scene when a soldier was hit by a bomb. I won't go into details, but it involved ribcage, internal organs, and a lot of blood. DaButt would have sparked up the barbecue.

I had to look elsewhere at that bit.

I've considered this and- what the hell are people doing to you when they're 'taking your pulse'?!
Quote: AJGO @ January 23 2012, 12:40 AM GMTIt was the harvesting from marrow of a donor that affected me. Don't want to put anyone off doing it because it is a wonderful thing to do, but in the case I saw, the corkscrew near the spine just made me go all peculiar.
And while I'm at it, laser eye surgery is amazing but seeing a blade come closer and closer towards your eye makes you forget you're not religious and many quick prayers that the anaesthetic has worked definitely occur
Know what you mean re the harvesting - it looked to me like they were burrowing a bloody screwdriver into the spine. My younger son had leukaemia when he was 4 and I nearly passed out the first time I watched them taking marrow for testing (mind you I hadn't slept the night before because he was so ill). However I had to get used to it as it was due to be repeated many times. The actual transplanting back in, is more like just giving a blood transfusion.

Basically annoying me because I've made the mistake of telling them I hate it...

Aw, retrospective hugs for you owl in a hat buddy
Yeah, watching the harvesting is well grim- one of those things that the brain just can't quite believe is happening and so thinks that being unconscious is probably the most sensible option!

Hee. It really shouldn't be making you feel sick though, get better people to take your pulse in future!
Quote: David Bussell @ January 23 2012, 10:59 AM GMTHaving my achilles tendons sliced through with a bread knife then being forced to run naked through razor wire while a lunatic sprinkles me from above with TCP always makes me queasy.
erm...
I don't think you could run at all if your achilles tendon had been cut through.
I had a spinal-tap without local anaesthetic , a bit painfull!
I am mardy when it comes to horror films though, no way
