A member asked:

When the doctor took a blood sample from me for my cbc, only a small amount of blood came out from me. is there any problem with that?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cbc: No. Sometimes a vein can blow or just stop producing blood when being drawn. Not much blood is needed to do a CBC so it should not be a problem.
