NO! they DONT take your blood. Only check your body to make sure its ok. But every doctor office is different..where I go they dont take your blood when you get a physical..but i suppose some do. BUT usually they don't! so dont worry.

THEY- WHOOPS- CVAPS LOCK- don't take your blood. they don't do anyhting with needles. they'll weigh you and they'll sometimes make you pee, they'll take your blood pressure and check out your pulse and breathing and ask you questions about your health and such. don't worry. it's not bad...
