It's not done repeatedly to establish your genome; it is to check for changes in any of the chemicals in your blood that may indicate health problems.

And hospitals do have morgues; they just don't publicize it. They do need a place to stash the dead ones until they are claimed and taken away. They do autopsies there as well, but not forensic ones, just medical assessments.

I don't care what their reason for it is. (FYI, I also don't believe reasons they tell you are the true ones, let alone the sole ones.) As they say on court shows, accidents happen... We all know it's not intentional, which is why they're called accidents. But whether it's going too fast on a wet road, an intentional gunshot, or a hospital lab worker drawing your blood faster than it can be replaced for whatever reason it needs to be, that doesn't make the person any less dead when they're put in that morgue/coffin.

Oh, & they need a place to stash the dead ones until claimed/IDed, but also place to hide ones they want to keep secret when they don't need autopsies to determine cause of death b/c something an employee did WAS the "cause...".

I enjoy getting blood drawn every three or four months. Especially when my 25+ year younger doctor looks at the lab report and asks how I can be so much older than him, fifty pounds overweight, still smoking, eating and drinking anything I want, and have BETTER bloodwork than he does?

Long may it continue!

You must watch a lot of TV 'medical dramas'.
Your blood sample is usually taken at the rate given by the patients heart.
Being an organic compound, blood does not last very long and the chemistry in it (which is what they look at) is even more so. So suck it up, son, and bare your arm for another sample.

All hospitals have "a place to stash the dead ones". Big teaching hospitals often have a suitable department (often with some fancy name).
The corpses are usually collected from there by the Undertaker for burial or whatever.

Not really; Avoid it b/c I live it... Even/Especially shows with real doctors working off-camera won't show/tell how they really do it.

Blood sample is taken how they want... Meaning rate, body part, & anything else they choose.

Always reminds me of this clip (especially last 10 seconds or so)... We need machine doctors if that's true.

The term 'doctors' actually means Veterinarian.

China's contribution to the NBA about ten years ago. He was so tall, all he had to do was stand by the basket, wait for someone to pass it to him, and drop it in.

He used to be an NBA player. I think he played for the Houston Rockets. He is extremely tall.
