Talk:Venipuncture

message: mmm... blood letting (which phlebotomy links to) is a very different thing. i'll leave it for now. Tristanb 10:03 27 May 2003 (UTC)
Do we really need complete instructions for venipuncture using vacutainers here? I think a more global overview would be more appropriate, especially as the precise procedure varies from place to place. --WS 23:49, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

message: Phlebotomy (modern) is a clunky title. In the meantime, I've made phlebotomy into a disambiguation page. --Christopherlin 16:20, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

message: My blood was few times collected using different procedure not described here, using only needle and test-tube:
Nurse first ties rubber band around biceps, takes just a needle (without syringe), drives it into the vein and simply catches free-dripping blood. Of course, blood has contact with air all the time, so it's done only with direct access to a lab.
Prolly it's oldest and most lo-tech method of all described, but also looks most cool and scarry :) (vein is in constant overpressure, so there is no risk of collapse, too)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.99.1.240 (talk) 17:23, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  needle and vial technique 

message: It includes the entire subject of intravenous access.  I fixed the 1st paragraph.  The rest of the article needs IV added—Preceding unsigned comment added by Fireftr (talk • contribs) 17:40, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Venipuncture is NOT primarily blood draw 

message: This whole article is reading like an advert for Vacutainer. I know it's acommon system but we need to be a bit more neutral I think.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Arfgab (talk • contribs) 10:10, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

message: i must say, that is the worst blood collection job i have seen.... the pool of blood at the insertion point is just BAD form. someone should put a better picture up, maybe ill talk one of the patients from work into letting me take one...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.250.155.109 (talk) 22:53, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Help scientific distinguish Phlebotomy.  

message: Because phlebotomy mean blodletting!!! plain and simple. Just like vassectomy, lobotomy etc "removal" of thing!!!. 
Please protest against quack-doctors exorcists etc who do bad pracices such as bloodletting etc. These are all false and harmfull. Donnt go to any quack doctor and dont go to any amature private experimentalist doctor and dont go to any exorcist and dont go to any commercial advertising doctor. Dont believe magic cure, these are all cheating. 
Please do only science based modern treatment.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.15.186.91 (talk) 02:33, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  I think science based hospital dispensary etcs should not use the term "phlebotomy'. Which they do not do.  

message: In modern india it is very  illegal to reuse a syringe. After taking blood sample/giving injection, both the syringe and needle to be destroyed in an incinerator. Same syringe must NOT be used for more 
than  1 person.  Throwing a syringe in random place is also strictly  inhibited. If someone do not follow this regulation strictly, that is illegal, offensive, unethical and harmful.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2409:4060:200E:8708:0:0:1660:28A5 (talk) 03:13, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

message: I was a bit alarmed to see that the collective authors didn't mention doctors in the list of healthcare professionals who carry out venipuncture.
I appreciate that many doctors have the luxury of not having to take blood, but some don't! I am a doctor in the UK and I carry out venipuncture every day of my working life.RichYPE (talk) 16:38, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
