Hey, hope everyone is well. I've had several blood test where my blood has squirted all over. Literally all over my arm, jeans and phlebotomist. Why does it do that?

I've not heard of that before. Did you ask your doctor? One thing I know for sure, I'd be certain not to go to that phlebotomist again - or that lab if I could help it. At the very least, I'd call that lab and ask to speak to a supervisor to see what they have to say about your experience.

Not what you're looking for?
