Blood work

Hi everyone, I'm just wondering when you have you blood taken at the doctors, they take quite a lot in a syringe, but when you have it done by a lab you only need to prick your finger and send a spot of blood. Something is not right somewhere.

Depends on the tests being done.

I'm on trt and when the doctor take blood it's a syringe and they check the same things as an online lab

They take a lot more blood then they actually need to do the lab work just incase the lab technician makes a mistake and they need to redo the lab work.

When a lab takes your blood, they analyze it right there so if there's any mix up they can correct it immediately.

When a doctor takes your blood, he sends it off to be analyzed.

A good test with everything you need will be more than just a spot. It really depends on how many things they are analyzing.
