We the people, phlebotomists, are more than often forgotten of our importance. We strive to help others, save lives, be healers. It has been said by the American Society for Clinical Pathology, estimated up to 80% of hospital diagnoses are made using blood samples, which often are drawn from phlebotomists.
Phlebotomy ("to cut a vein" in Greek) is the process of making an incision in a vein. It is associated with venipuncture, the practice of collecting venous blood samples, and bloodletting, the ancient medical practice.
A person who practices phlebotomy is termed a phlebotomist.
