So I had a fun third day on the job the other day. The head paramedic supervisor had just given me a TB test shot and we were standing around chatting when I began to feel dizzy. Then, I was told, I said "Not to alarm anyone..." just before I passed out in the middle of the office. I came to a moment later, joked about this being the best response time in ambulance history, signed a pt. refusal form and went on to finish my shift in the wheelchair department.
What I want to know is why I passed out seeing as I'm not affraid of needles and I've had a previous TB test shot with no problems. The only thing I can think of was that I was standing up when given the shot and that I had skipped breakfast that day. Any ideas?
