Phlebotomy, otherwise known as bloodletting, is an ancient tactic to help cure people of disease. A future research topic to probe into would be to find an alternative way to rid of

d) Setting out procedures When setting out for procedure its done in two stages in our practice. First is initial setting of the instruments and materials before patient enter room. All (chair, spittoon, work tops...) is wipe down with disinfectant wipes and then set up instrument tray with some cotton wool rolls, articulation paper and 3 in 1 tip on little table on the side the chair handy for clinician.

Therefore “this machine pumped all of the blood from the body and replaced it with fresh blood and serum.” (Bradbury 12) because “you take out the old and put in the new and you're okay.”

In a 1923 medical textbook bloodletting was still a recommended cure. There were four main ways to bloodlet. The first was leeches. The second, a process called an arteriotomy. This consisted of puncturing and bleeding the arteries in the temples.

I work as a Laboratory Technician Assistant/Phlebotomist. We work alongside with the medical technologists by helping them with some of the lab duties. My work includes verifying patient’s identity, determine a convenient vein on the patient’s arm, select the appropriate tubes, and draw blood from the patient for lab tests.
