I have had multiple blood draws done every year since the middle 1990s and the blood has always been taken from veins in my forearm (sometimes left, sometimes right) near the elbow, never the hands or fingers.

Diabetic blood sugar tests are often taken from the fingertips, but there is a tendency for many new test devices to get away from this and use the arm because the fingertips are more pain sensitive than the arms.

I cannot think of any reason a blood test would have to be taken only from a single finger.

There is not real reason for this. It may be for less use of left hand but there isn't a real reason for this.
