I went for a blood test the other day and confused my phlebotomist.

前几天我去验血，把我的抽血医生搞糊涂了。

Relax. I didn't kill anyone for it. This phlebotomist I went out with a few times, he's my supplier.

别紧张。我没为了它杀。我和这个放血医师约会过几次，他是我的供货商。

Remember: America is a country in which eyelash technicians can become phlebotomists in a matter of weeks.

请记：在美，技师可以在几周内成为抽血师。

The problem, as testified by your columnist's phlebotomist, is that in reality, holes are often filled by job-switchers, not the unemployed.

正如专栏作家的抽血医生所证明的那样，问题在于，实际上，填补空缺的往往是跳槽者，而不是失业者。

Six weeks of training was all it took, she explained, to make the transition from eyelash technician to phlebotomist, which offered higher pay and better hours.

她解释说，从技师转变为抽血师只需要六周的培训，后者提供更高的薪水和更好的工作时间。

Narrator: As a former phlebotomist, Melissa knew that these small details would add to the realism, so she also focused on the viscosity of the blood.

旁白：作为一名前抽血师， Melissa 知道这些小细节会增加真实感，所以她也把重点放在了血液的粘度上。
