What really happens behind the needle?
I'm Not Dracula, I'm a Phlebotomist is a funny, honest, and surprisingly heartfelt look at one of healthcare's most misunderstood jobs. If you think phlebotomists just walk in, draw blood, and leave, think again.
From terrified patients and dramatic fainters to impossible veins, mobile blood draws, early morning chaos, and the endless vampire jokes, this book pulls back the curtain on the real world of phlebotomy.
Written with humor and real insight, this book celebrates the professionals who keep healthcare moving, often without recognition. It also gives patients a fresh look at what happens in that chair and why kindness, hydration, and holding still matter more than you think.

They're professionals.
