WHAT IS PHLEBOTOMY?
Phlebotomy is not only the practice of placing a needle in the vein, but it is a skill that a person must build on. Phlebotomy is used to collect blood samples, and is also called by many a blood draw or venipuncture. Blood work is a very helpful tool for physician's while diagnosing and/or treating their patients for many medical conditions. After the collection the blood is sent to the laboratory for testing. However, phlebotomy in the past has been performed primarily in medical practices/facilities; but thanks now to a new structure of phlebotomy you can now have it done in the privacy of you own home or office.
