22. Phlebotomists

Let’s be honest for a second. How many of us hate having our blood drawn? How many of us are scared of or uncomfortable around needles?

Phlebotomists are trained to take a patients’ blood for medical testing. They have to do so in a calm, soothing and reassuring way because of the aforementioned fear. They probably deal with dozens of people on a daily basis with various stages of fright.

Doing everything calmly while also pricking someone with a needle- and getting it right on the first try, takes a lot of self-restraint and a balanced mind.
