[quote=Anonymous]We were at our pediatrician's office for routine 10 year check up. She needed to do finger prick for lipid panel screen. My daughter is very needle averse and the last time she got vaccine ( which was 2 years ago) it was awful. Her friend at school, who recently got finger prick at her doctor's check up, told my daughter that it has hurt a lot. So my daughter wouldn't let the office nurse do the finger prick for blood test. As soon as the nurse told us that they plan to do finger prick, my daughter's face was all in tears. We tried every reasoning with her, and nothing worked. She literally wouldn't physically allow to touch her hands and wrapped them so tight in her sweatshirt. So it wasn't done. It was so sad and embarrasing, but there was nothing I could do to convince her to do it. So they said, they will do it at 11 year check up. I am wondering how often this happens and do you have any tricks/tips to help with future finger stick blood draw.[/quote]
