Heelpricks

Heelprick, an Rdr to the accompanying article, is linked from that article forming a self-loop, which i will quickly fix.
On the longer term, 1 other article links to it, and either an anchor for the Rdr to target should be created in the appropriate 'graph, or the lead graph should use language like

I have added a CDC protocol as a reference. From my experience (administering these tests), the size of the droplet will be a few ml (waaay more than the 500g in your comment), but I have not found a source that mentions the droplet size cannywizard (talk) 10:32, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Non-US terminology?

Is the term 'fingerstick' used anywhere else than in the US? I haven't heard it before (I'm in Australia). If not, I propose it be renamed 'fingerprick', or 'pinprick'... Tom W (talk) 16:01, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
