You're a professional, a perfectionist, a phlebotomist! You draw blood samples from patients that provide lab results upon which physicians base their medical decision about the care of their patients. This video is a tribute to phlebotomists everywhere, the most underestimated professional in healthcare.

YES!!! And we are not paid what we are worth! It's frustrating! But I do love what I do! There is no better or more rewarding compliment than a patient saying "I didn't even feel that"!! I love my patients!

This video touches me so very deeply. I am a phlebotomy instructor and on the last day of school. I have my students watch this. During the course I can teach how to obtain quality samples, the special handling of specimens, and the ethics involved with the vast responsibility of a phlebotomist. The one thing that I can’t teach, it has to come from within is the heart to care for others. This video truly outlines the care taken and the specialty of our field.

I made the mistake of enrolling in an online class from another state. Now I can't get any facility near me to allow me to do my blood draws to complete my program. If you're not part of their program, no one wants to help you. Amer. Red Cross wouldn't help me cause they have their own program. Hospitals have their own programs or go to nearby colleges that have programs. No one seems to want to deal with someone in an outside, online program.

Dear Dennis, I do admire your work, your passion and the mission you decided to take upon many years ago to improve the way blood is drawn and managed in a reliable and responsible manner. I love this video and many others you have produced, but I can not help it think, why is it that the medical world under estimates our profession?. We are an important part of the medical system, yet we are the lowest paid medical professional. How does that work? Why phlebotomists' salaries have not increased to provide a decent earning and keep up with inflation? Thank you
