I recently watched the movie Salaam Namaste. In the Movie, Saif fears Hospitals. And that reminded me of How i used to dread Hospitals, Blood, etc… when i was young and even now, at times. So, here’s the meaning of the Post Title… Hemophobia is Fear of Blood and Nosocomephobia is Fear of Hospitals. I feel nauseated whenever i go to Hospitals. My heart starts beating a lot faster. The smell of the Hospital itself is enough to create that feeling of sickness. Thankfully, i haven’t gone to hospitals in the recent past, so i don’t know if i still have Nosocomephobia. And about Hemophobia… Even the sight of Blood creates panic inside me. I hate to admit this… I have never ever donated blood. There had been a number of blood donation campaigns organized at School, College, Office and every other place i go. But, I never go to donate blood. When i was in College, a blood donation camp was organized. And we were allowed to leave the class for the rest of the day, if we are going to donate blood. So, just for the sake of getting out of class, i joined the rest of the guys who were really going to donate blood. But, instead me and my friend roamed around the college, canteen and passed the time. I was in a dilemma. I wanted to donate blood, but i didnt want to donate blood!!! Finally after thinking a lot about it, and for the Greater Good… we decided to go ahead and give the blood. But… When we went there, the doc said sorry guys time up! We’ve closed. wow What a relief! Incidentally, Red and Orange are my most favorite colors!
