In 1900, Doctor Benedict Lust, a German physician who immigrated to America, bought the term ‘naturopathy’ from Dr. John Schell to define the diverse compilation of principles of natural healing (Thiel 2000, p.3).

The History of Phlebotomy (Phlebotomists) Jennifer Johnson Missouri College The act of drawing blood from a patient’s veins, arteries, or capillaries for laboratory collection or blood transfusion, is called phlebotomy. This is done by making a small puncture in the body with a needle. Collecting urine and feces samples to detect blood is also done by phlebotomist. Phlebotomy began in the eighteenth century, but up until the mid nineteenth century it was called blood-letting. “Phlebotomy technology has made huge strides in its history overall, and the latter half of the twentieth century and first decade of the twenty first century has seen it evolve into an ever more refined, well controlled, and comfortable experience for the phlebotomist
The conditions of a phlebotomist are that the phlebotomists should note the patient's condition, whether the patient is fasting, on medications or has dietary restrictions. Phlebotomists should also check if the patient has allergies to antiseptics or adhesives that are used when drawing blood. The phlebotomist should apply a tourniquet 3 to 4 inches above the puncture site and should not leave it on for more than 2 minutes. The phlebotomist should rub alcohol on the site to disinfect it; the alcohol should air dry. After inserting the needle at a 15 to 30 degree angle, the phlebotomist draws the blood.
This goal targets the prevention of mortality from health care-associated infections caused by several different drug resistant organisms, surgical related infections, and infections of the bloodstream related to catheter insertion.
