Maybe there was a better place to do it, but I don't think he was in the wrong. What really hit me was one sentence you wrote:

Should people do their best to keep their medical issues like that somewhat private so the rest of us don't have to be subjected to them (whenever possible)?

I don't know if you meant that the way it came off, but it comes off really cold. Instead of focusing on how it makes you uncomfortable maybe just take the opportunity to be thankful you don't share such a condition? I mean, heaven forbid we be subject to viewing someones else problems or pain. They should probably keep it away from our nice happy times. Especially if you aren't squemish with needles, which you said, I'm not sure what the big problem is. A reality check once in a while isn't a bad thing.
