phlebotomy
Medical blood extraction
Phlebotomy is the practice of drawing blood from a vein, typically for medical testing, donation, or therapeutic purposes.
A phlebotomist is trained to locate veins, insert needles, and collect blood samples: The lab technician performed the phlebotomy quickly and painlessly.
In historical medicine, phlebotomy meant bloodletting as a treatment.
