Phlebotomy: What is done?
Steps-
- Patient will sit in a chair or lie down.
- Technician will ask patient to make a fist with his hand.
- Then they’ll tie a band, called a tourniquet, around the upper arm. (This makes the veins pop out a little more, which will make it easier to insert the needle in the right place.)
- Patient may feel a pinch or sting when the needle goes into the arm.
- The needle is attached to a small tube that lets the blood flow into a test tube or bag.
- The process usually takes just a few minutes.

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
