I have an intense phobia of dentists; if I were wearing a constant monitor, I bet you could tell when I was at the dentist just by watching the blood pressure and heart rate spikes. (You'd have to find some way of differentiating them from me being in a car accident, or being attacked by a werewolf.)
- 6LLvveMx2koXfwn 1y agoIt's interesting that you have a baseline for 'being attacked by a werewolf'.
- adastra22 1y agoYou don’t??

- gregdeon 1y agoI wonder if it would show up on the heart rate (or heart rate variability) tracking from an Apple Watch or similar. My Garmin picks up stressful events all the time.
- normie3000 1y agoWerewolf attacks usually fall on predictable dates, during night hours.
- pavel_lishin 1y agoA werewolf is always a werewolf, even if they're not actively in their beast form. So you can be attacked by a werewolf any time.
- cgriswald 1y agoIs this true? A full moon only last two or three days and it might be that werewolves are more irritable in their human form than their wolf form.
- taneq 1y agoJust to be clear, 'fang doctor' doesn't actually refer to a medical werewolf. :D
- kakacik 1y agoI have a mild fear of needles. Whenever my wife does acupuncture on me, I am quite uneasy in the beginning, looking away but still I end up covered in a bit of sweat till she finishes putting needles on all the points (and sometimes they are properly weird places I wouldn't imagine sticking tiny needle into... doesn't help). Don't monitor the heart rate/pressure but it must jump up significantly
- pavel_lishin 1y agoI have a pretty serious fear of needles, to the point that phlebotomists always ask me if I'm going to pass out (to which I always answer, "never have before, but maybe today's the day!") Once, I had to give my spouse an injection, and I almost passed out and threw up, once when they took the cap off the syringe and accidentally poked themselves in the finger, and then when I actually had to administer the injection. I know I'd get used to it, but there's a decent chance that if I had to give myself insulin shots, I'd just fucking die.
