Can anybody tell me why, how, when the JAA will start to take samples of blood at medicals. I don't like the idea myself from purely a nauseating viewpoint, http://www.pprune.org/ubb/NonCGI/eek.gif
and I know a lot of people have strong views on the subject.
What can they tell now that they couldn't from more em... traditional tests?
I've nothing new to hide that they don't already know , eg. BMI and baldness, I'd just be interested in any comments!

I have had it done during my last two medicals.
Nothing to upsetting......The Doc used a little "skin pricker" to take a sample from the tip of my index finger..only a couple of drops, so no fainting involved.

They use it for an initial cholesterol check and a haemoglobin check at each examination......It's really no big deal.!!!
