For Injections

"A 14 year old girl came in who needed to get blood drawn, but she had a needle phobia. The CCLS gave her a SpellBound card to distract her during the procedure.

During the procedure, the girl was playing with the card and was not even paying attention to the needle, and the mom looked at the CCLS, shocked. She's silently gesturing to the CCLS how shocked she is and the CCLS is shushing her so that the girl doesn't notice and motioning her to just let the girl keep playing. After they're done, the CCLS says "OK, we're all done!" and the girl asks "Can I keep playing with this?""
