Encounters of the Gifted Phlebotomist

Encounters of the Gifted Phlebotomist is a powerful collection of true stories from the draw room, where technique meets tenderness and every blood draw carries a human story.

Written by Stanesia "Niecy" Carlos-Morgan, a phlebotomy supervisor, instructor, and mentor with over twenty years of hands-on experience, this book pulls back the curtain on moments rarely talked about in healthcare. These are the encounters no manual prepares you for: the patient gripped by fear, the one burdened by grief, the angry patient masking pain, and the quiet soul who simply needs to be treated with dignity.

With honesty, humor, and compassion, Niecy shares real-life experiences that reveal phlebotomy as more than a procedure. It is presence. It is leadership. And sometimes, it is ministry.

This book is for healthcare professionals who have ever carried the emotional weight of a room, for patients who want to know someone truly sees them, and for anyone who believes healing can begin before a diagnosis is ever spoken.

Because the needle is only a tool.
The care is the gift.
