Fun fact: when you get blood drawn for testing, each vial taken is about 10 ml max. Equivalent to two teaspoons. Three tubes is about an ounce. I know it looks like more than that, but I promise.. Getting bloodwork done does not make you sick from losing too much blood. Lol so don't sweat it. 🙃

as a lab tech, I get people all the time complaining about how many tubes are drawn on them. what some people don't understand is certain tubes are drawn for certain tests depending on whether or not the sample needs to be whole blood, serum, etc

Right! I was a phlebotomist for years lol you can't run all these tests on one tube. And you're hardly losing any blood. @ginnalynn

Lol just have bloodwork done repeatedly over the last few months! I was battling infertility so lots of tests being run over the course of the last few months. I guess having my 4 yo with me also made me want to woman up and not cry hahaha

I used to donate blood so I didn't mind them taking blood, but when her hands were shaky switching out the vials I wanted to punch her lol. My arm was bruised for almost a week afterwards
