While I'm on the topic of "seasons", I've got another seasonal issue which I'm curious to find out if anyone else shares:
Why is it that when flu season rolls around, the media becomes obsessed with airing pictures and footage of people getting needles? Not just sitting in the doctor's office looking miserable, but close-up shots of needles penetrating the skin.
I HATE NEEDLES AND DO NOT WANT TO SEE THIS. Please stop assaulting my eyeballs with these disturbing, nightmare-inducing images!!!
Nurses and doctors see this all the time, so it's probably no big deal to them. Well, I'm not a nurse or doctor, so spare me. I have a weak stomach and an irrational fear of needles and medical procedures, and don't need to see these things when I'm trying to relax.
I don't need to be coddled with images of cherry blossoms and 1-year old birthday parties, but seriously ....... please stop showing people getting needles in their arms!!!! Now!!!! It doesn't inspire me to call the doctor, it inspires me to throw up and change the channel.
This is not just annoying, it's vile.
It's great that flu shots are available, but we don't need to see the process in action.

this is also a huge problem with television programming. The fact that every damned show is a medical drama doesn't help. I hate seeing it. I want to puke thinking about it
Yeah, I agree ... that's pretty creepy.
