I'm in Canada, and our nurses and nursing assistants are explicitly told to not milk the finger before the prick because it can potentially skew results for testing...
My finger cups refuse to bleed in the prescribed manner. 35 μl (microliter) of blood are required for the capillary tube to fill to the black line for the cholesterol test. It is impossible to collect more than about 8 μl of blood before a puncture stops bleeding. Additional milking (massaging and squeezing) has no effect . Manufacturer provided single usage lancet (actually a glucose lancet, no gauge indication) with twist cap and set at maximum penetration (5).

Not me using this to get blood for a spell
I have blood on my entire finger and the tube won't pick it up
I'm here trying to build upp courage. I ordered a test you can do at home but my anxiety and fear is overwhelming 😅
Thanks this helped by showing to massage the hand and get blood to the fingertip before poking.

Thank you! This was so helpful as a nursing student for general finger sticking.
Did it hurt you if you're covered with Alcohol? Wait, when you were having a flu shot, did they do that before they give you a flu shot?
