Comfort
 
 For most patients, it is difficult to hold their arm up and still for any length of time. You cannot hold their arm up, while drawing blood, because you are too busy trying to clean the area, get a good vein and make that one poke count, so you do not have to do it more than once.

The great thing about blood drawing chairs is the specially designed arm rest to support the patients arm at the best vantage point for you to do your job. The arm rest is at an appropriate level for you to sit right across from the patient. Even the simple act of sitting down and facing the person having blood drawn is somehow comforting. For some reason, the procedure does not seem so intimidating, and the individual can relax, communicate, and feel like you really care for them.

Convenience

 Blood drawing chairs also make your job so much more convenient. You need to be face to face with the individual, if you are going to ask them to give you one or more vials of blood. It is more than a pin prick, and it can take some time. You need to have the patient at ease and as comfortable as possible to make your job a little easier.

If the patient is tense and uptight, it can make it more difficult to get a good vein. At the right angle, as they become more relaxed, it is much easier to do your job. If you can sit down and have him/her seated comfortably, it is also easier to be distracting, so he/she is not thinking about what you must do. 

In fact, if you are really good at your job, and the patient is comfortable, you will be done almost before they know you have actually begun. The whole idea is to make the patient as comfortable as possible, especially if that patient has health concerns that require coming to sit in the blood drawing chair frequently.

In short, based on personal experience from the patient point of view, a blood drawing chair makes an often unpleasant medical procedure much easier to bear. If the source of the stick is comfortably positioned, and the patient can be distracted, it can be over very quickly. Even if you have to draw blood from a small child, if Mom can sit in the chair, and the youngster can use the arm rest, you can grab attention away from what you are doing. It will all be done before the child has too much time to worry and cry, and you can be on to your next patient. A blood drawing chair just makes it a little easier for everyone.
