Popis: Introduction: We aimed to present the patient who applied to the emergency department, who did not want to be tested due to fear of giving blood sample, but was discharged after blood sample was taken comfortably with hypnosis application. Case Report: A forty six-year-old female patient was admitted to the emergency department with complaints of headache and fatigue. It was learned that the patient avoided going to the hospital because of the fear of giving blood samples for years. Blood tests were requested from the patient, but the patient stated that she did not want to give blood sample. The patient accepted our offer to take blood under hypnosis and stated that he would try to give blood with this method. Thereupon, the patient was taken to a suitable environment and stretcher in the emergency room. During this hypnosis session, which lasts about 15 minutes, the patient; she gave samples for blood tests very comfortably and happily. The patient, who stated her happiness after the procedure, continued her next procedures in a relaxed way. Conclusion: Hypnosis application is a method that can be used by emergency doctors according to the needs of patients who are fear of giving blood samples. References: 1. Colón Y, Avnet MS.
