Seems like maybe 13 of the 17 tests are blood tests. So maybe that counts as just one ... 
 
Yeah, the 13 blood draws will be one procedure, but they will use 13 different colored vials for each particular test ordered.  Ask for a butterfly and take it from the top of your hand, preferably the one you do not you use for your mouse.  The wife had 14 at once, once.  She had some serious issues that we went real deep on with a geneticist.  The diagnosis was she had "broken platelets", as she had something they could not figure out and that was the best that they could come up with.

If you have any circulation issues that would result in your blood being thick, take a couple of advils prior to the blood draw.  It helps to thin the blood and make it flow easier.  It is what I have to do, especially if I am going to have a phlebotomy.  My blood clots super fast.  My docs approve.  You should always, always check with your docs first though.  At the very least hydrate a lot.  Dehydration is a funny thing and affects all kinds of stuff.

Sounds like they are on the ball and taking you very seriously.  I just read about the MRA and it is wholly appropriate as far as I can tell.

Hang tough.

The best in world story-telling.

Ekbal & Birbal, on blindness... if I remember correctly...

The elephant is this... " _ " that I have touched, not able to see. ... 

Yes - Vedanta lore.

That does not bequeathe ... melodies of backyards' rivulets ...

Did you NOT want them to look for possibilities? Sheesh. What the heck do people want except to be "edgy"?
