A member asked:
Can you get your blood drawn anywhere else besides the front side of your elbow?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Yes there are several other sites for a blood draw and depend on factors such as frequency and volume of blood needed, if there is a catheter already present or if the blood vessels have collapsed due to massive blood loss. Some other sites are upper inner arm, groin, ankle and neck.
