if you draw blood from the arm from the surgical side, they could get swelling of the arm from poor circulation, called lymphedema. so they cannot have any blood draws, iv's, injections or blood pressue taken on that arm at all.
Blood should not be drawn from the arm on the side of a mastectomy because the removal of lymph nodes during the procedure can lead to lymphedema, a condition characterized by swelling due to fluid buildup. Drawing blood from this arm increases the risk of infection, complications, and exacerbation of lymphedema. Additionally, altered circulation and potential damage to blood vessels in the area may further complicate the procedure. It's generally recommended to use the opposite arm for blood draws to ensure patient safety.

a plebotomist. plebotomists draw blood in hospitals and medical homes. they also check your blood type, blood pressure, etc.
Normal ranges on blood tests depends on the laboratory that draws the blood.
It means to withdraw blood from the body usually with a instrument such as a needle or knife.
A lab technician perhaps?
