I had 1 tube of blood drawn for cholesterol, she applied pressure for literally 10 seconds and then put bandaid on. well i led through, is that bad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bled through?: Do you mean that you bled through the bandaid? If, yes - that is not uncommon and means that it would be helpful to hold pressure a little longer.
