BLOOD DRAW LEVEL 3

A blood draw is a medical procedure, also known as venipuncture or phlebotomy, where a healthcare professional uses a needle to collect a small sample of blood for laboratory testing or, less commonly, for therapeutic purposes. The blood sample is used to monitor health, diagnose conditions like diabetes or anemia, and check how organs are functioning. The process typically involves cleaning the skin, placing a tourniquet to make veins more prominent, inserting a needle into a vein, collecting the blood into tubes or a syringe, and then applying a bandage to the site.
