Talk:Fingerstick

Heelpricks
Heelprick, an Rdr to the accompanying article, is linked from that article forming a self-loop, which i will quickly fix. On the longer term, 1 other article links to it, and either an anchor for the Rdr to target should be created in the appropriate 'graph, or the lead graph should use language like
 * Fingersticks (and their analogue, heelpricks) ....

Verification
Someone who actually knows what they're talking about should respond to the cn templates i placed on my own work. --Jerzy•t 09:03, 12 June 2015 (UTC) I have added a CDC protocol as a reference.

Non-US terminology?
Is the term 'fingerstick' used anywhere else than in the US? I haven't heard it before (I'm in Australia). If not, I propose it be renamed 'fingerprick', or 'pinprick'... Tom W (talk) 16:01, 1 January 2017 (UTC)


 * It really should be "capillary blood testing" with redirects from the other names. MartinezMD (talk) 02:32, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
