When I was quite young I was afraid to go to the doctor. This was because I didn't realise that when you get a shot, they take the needle out after. I thought they left the needle inside your arm forever. I would could imagine looking at an x-ray and seeing hundreds of needles stuck inside your arms. It's not completely my fault though, nodody ever told me... I guess they figured it was too obvious.
