About Rev. Dr. Abbott
Expertise
I've spent decades dieting and living with eating disorders. Now I am not only recovered, but a nutritional consultant and counselor. Since 'no more diets' I've also been 100% free of any weight problem. It's that easy. No dieting.

Experience
Nutritional advisor and consultant; counselor (ordained minister); ongoing extension education in human (and animal) nutrition, behavior.

Nutrition & Dieting - phlebotomy fears


Expert: Rev. Dr. Abbott - 4/21/2007

Question
I am specializing in medical lab technology and we are currently learning how to draw blood,but I become so nervous that my hands shake quite badly?is it something that new phlebotomists overcome with training? I am very afraid of the idea that I might fail in my job because of this nervousness

Answer
There should be a brave soul in class who will volunteer to be your pincushion - once you do it - it DOES become easier each time. You learn to 'feel' when it's right.
 Deep breath in, let it all out slowly, and as you do,  land-aim- and a smooth move in.
 
 You should be fine - just don't give up.
