How many times a year do we need to have our blood drawn??? and who does it the surgeon or PC doctor??? What are they looking for??? Anyway many (((((((HUGS)))))) to you, why dont you use the if then method to reward/punish your self??? If you go get your blood work you will ....... and if you don't you'll have to do something you hate...??
Any doc can order the labs. My PCP orders mine. Docs don't usually draw the blood themselves, though. I go to the lab at my local hospital to get mine drawn. I've had it drawn a couple times at my PCP's office (there is a phlebotomist there) but last time, after I sat there for a long time waiting for them to get everything ready, she told me she did not have all of the necessary tubes and I would have to go to a lab to get it drawn. So now I just go to the hospital.
What are they looking for? About a million things. Vitamin and mineral deficiencies, problems with blood sugar, cholesterol, signs of liver trouble, etc.
