Ramnik Sood MD is a renowned author and a well known pioneer in the field of laboratory medicine. With over 40 years of relevant experience, he has seen phlebotomists suffer first hand and the patients left empty handed without a report. Many a time immediate and late complications are observed. In the current pandemic scenario, or even otherwise, the best practices associated with phlebotomy have been monitored by Dr Sood in the Indian and overseas settings. What used to be a small chapter in all his medical laboratory technology books has now evolved into an independent book.
