Phlebotomy is the process of drawing blood, in general medicine typically more like giving lots of or exchanging blood rather than a pin prick or even filling a couple vials for lab work. I worked with an office that was very clear they drew blood for lab work but would not do phlebotomy, I had to have the difference explained to me. Shouldn’t Axois have specified anyone with hematology, immunology, or serology experience/education? I don’t think they they SHOULD have had a phlebotomist on their board. That no one had drawn blood before; was the least of Theranos’s problems.
