Is it dangerous for doctors to take so much blood for lab work? should i be worried about fainting or anything like that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Very little blood is usually taken for testing and is rapidly replaced by reserves in the spleen

I'm 43 yo with low libido for a while. Blood work shows testosterone @ 314 ng/dl (range is 292-867). Doc says is normal. But, since lab range is for *huge* age range i don't get how 314 is ok for 43 yo?
