They should not have drawn blood on the arm to which you had a hepain going for this simple reason. Heparin is a blood thinner, which prevents proper clotting of blood; in combination with a puncture from blood draw you would get quite a blue arm, but no worries, as long as that is all that there is it will go away in a weeks's time.
