My mom was extremely sick with an autoimmune disorder about 10 years ago. She went to the hospital frequently (both inpatient, outpatient, and for scheduled appointments) constant blood draws -- a dozen vials at a time. The nurse once joked that she wish she had some juice and cookies to to her. Cheaper, more frequent testing on smaller volumes of blood would be fantastic.
