    Doesn’t it take months of training (at least!) to become a phlebotomist? How can you screw up that badly on day one?

      Like the other user sort of said…I’m sure she drew the blood just fine. It was the caring about patient safety that didn’t happen.

        My assumption would be that the training would put a huge weight on precisely that.

        I really don’t think they’d spend all that time just learning how to mechanically draw blood and not have entire courses and exams on patient safety, record keeping etc.

          Unfortunately you can’t force people to care about things they don’t care about. She obviously didn’t care. Or was maybe on drugs. Or both. Who knows?
