Every morning starts with a quiet moment over coffee. For Hanzo Hashashi, this isn’t just about waking up—it’s about preparing for a day filled with care, precision, and human connection.
By 8:00 AM, Hanzo is already at the clinic, reviewing the day’s patient list. Each name on that list is more than just a file—it’s a person who may be nervous, hopeful, or simply in need of reassurance. Hanzo believes every blood draw is more than a routine—it’s an act of trust.
💉 Morning Rounds:
The first patients are usually fasting for their tests. Hanzo greets them with a calm smile, explains each step, and makes sure they’re comfortable. A gentle hand, the right words, and a steady technique make all the difference.
🌿 Midday:
Between patients, Hanzo carefully labels and organises samples. Accuracy here is critical—because behind each vial is a diagnosis that could change someone’s life. Lunch is often quick, but he uses the time to chat with colleagues, share knowledge, and sometimes even mentor new trainees in phlebotomy techniques.
🤝 Afternoon:
Hanzo’s favourite part of the day is meeting children and elderly patients. For kids, he often turns the experience into a little story, helping them feel brave. For older patients, he listens—because sometimes what they need most isn’t just a phlebotomist, but someone who cares enough to hear their stories.
🌙 Evening:
As the day winds down, Hanzo reflects on the small victories: the patient who overcame their fear of needles, the precise draw that saved a repeat visit, the smile of relief after the procedure was done.
For Hanzo Hashashi, being a phlebotomist isn’t just about drawing blood. It’s about building trust, showing empathy, and playing a vital role in every patient’s healthcare journey.
