Washington Post

The Washington Post has posed an interesting fact about who and what are Phlebotomists, and why it is so important that they are certified. "Most patients don't realize that the person sticking the needle in their arm today could have been flipping burgers last week." This was a quote given by Dennis Ernst, a veteran phlebotomist/runs the resource center in Ramey, Ind.)
