Written By Jane Fish

So, you're scheduled for a blood draw, and the anxiety is creeping in. We get it – the thought of needles can be a bit daunting. But fear not! At GB Phlebotomy, we’re all about making your blood collection experience as painless and comfortable as possible. 

Here are some fun tips to help you breeze through your blood work with a smile.

  1. Bring a Buddy: Have a friend or family member join you. A familiar face can make all the difference.

  2. Jam to Your Favorite Tunes: Create an awesome playlist and groove to the beats while we work our magic. My favorite is I Feel Like Dancing by Jason Mraz!

  3. Think Happy Thoughts: Visualize your happy place – whether it’s the beach, a cozy coffee shop with a lavender honey latte in hand, or your own comfy bed.

  4. Reward Yourself: Plan a little treat for after your appointment – maybe a delicious smoothie or a relaxing day.

  5. Laugh It Off: 😂 Watch a funny video or think of a hilarious memory. Laughter is the best medicine, after all!

Remember, our friendly phlebotomists are here to make your experience as pleasant as possible. So, relax, take a deep breath, and let’s turn that blood draw into a walk in the park! Schedule your blood collection appointment here.
