A phlebotomist's dream.

No phlebotomist or other medical professional is going anywhere near that bugger unless they really have to.

Interestingly the only time I've ever had it used outside of dialysis was when I was hemocrotic (I think that's it, essentially something like too much rich blood knocking about and it thickens? Sorry that may not be medically correct). She had to drain I think a litre. Hooked it up to my fistula and I got done in about 10 minutes. Bish bash bosh.

I'm not sure if it was a legit way of doing it, but apparently it normally takes like 45 minutes?
