去社区医院预约GP(general practitioner, 家庭医生),前台有时会给你写一张卡片,上面有GP的名字;如果预约抽血,在卡片上除了日期和时间外,写的是这么个单词:phlebotomist,意思是抽血师。中文里不分这么细,一律叫护士或大夫。
这个词对应的行为是phlebotomy(名词): the opening of a vein, either to withdraw blood (抽血) or for letting blood (放血). 同义词有好几个:venesection, venipuncture, venepuncture, blood draw, drawing blood or taking blood.这通常指在胳膊上抽取静脉血。如果是从指尖抽血则叫fingerprick。
