  I am going to be sucked dry. The nurse enters the patient's room and states the following:
  A.
  The technician must draw your blood now.
  B.
  Don't worry, we will leave enough for you to live.
  C.
  I'll stay with you awhile and we can go over today's activities.

Reduce the patient's anxiety first. Then proceed with attempting the blood draw.
