It makes drawing the blood much slower, and the extra pressure used to force blood along a narrow needle can damage some blood cells as well as causing the patient extra pain. A larger needle always hurts less than a tiny one because of the pressure principle.
All true! Additionally, it's easy to clog a really small bore needle, sometimes before the sample is complete.
