I have Tryponaphobia (fear of needles) and I have to go to urgent care because of a health problem. I’m scared that I’ll run away the minute they mention me needing a blood test. And they won’t allow my husband to be with me to shield me from the sight of a needle

I’m completely terrified of getting shots, blood work, anything of that nature. Now I’ve found myself in a predicament where I might need to take one.

My insurance is the best and I only have one urgent care that takes it, and sadly, they refused to let me have my husband with me despite me stating my phobia and how he helps me stay still/shield me.

I’m frustrated and panicking really bad to the point I’m close to throwing up.

I understand covid is still a thing, but they won’t even hear us out or verify he’s not sick or anything.
