Lets say you work at a diagnostics place and your job is to take blood from patients. A pregnant woman comes in, (6 months pregnant) and she tells you from the start she is terrified of needles. her physical demeanor automatically strikes you as odd. shes shaking, breaking out in cold sweats, her skin is clammy, and she says she feels like shes going to faint, her hearing is slowly fading and her vision became spazzy. would you, as a professional, still insist she get the blood work in her present condition? yes
