Doctor Appointment

Ok so I really do not like the doctors office. Most of you know I have an anxiety disorder. So going to the doctor isn't my favorite thing. To start if off I have to park in a parking garage, next is the elevator...ok side note I think the elevator is a great invention but its just not for people who don't like tight spaces or are claustrophobic...SO I took the staris, ya so what my doctors office was on the 4th floor..I needed the exercise. Then comes the waiting part, now keep in mind I wasn't going in to get anything "done" or whatever, I was just talking to my doctor for a follow up. Well they stick you in a room thats smaller then my bathroom (luckily there was a window) but then the little nurse has to SQUEEZE my arm to take my blood pressure, which I have said before, that in itself raises my blood pressure. Then its "the doctor will be in in a minute" (praise the Lord, my doctor is an awesome Christian woman who is worthe the wait) So I was told that everything I'm doing is fine, except she wants to run a blood work panel on me. Ok so I have a question: how is someone with an anxiety issue SUPPOSED TO GET THEIR BLOOD DRAWN??? I mean seriously. So I took the blood work and went back to my car. ha. So now I have to contimplate how I am going to go about doing this....

oh and why does every doctor office have that heavy feeling of eeriness, and the smell of extremely sterilized surfaces? why can't there be cheerful music playing and fresh cut flowers? and why not a scented candle to lighten the senses? I mean c'mon!
