They don't throw out the first vial right there in front of you.

When they only take one vial, they'd better not be throwing it out and sending my doctor and myself "results"!

Now, it's possible I'm mis-remembering this, although the protocol includes showing me the vial after the draw so I can confirm it's labeled correctly and I tend to remember additional vials, since that manipulation often hurts more than anything else. I'll pay attention, heck, ask the phlebotomist in a few months during my next annual checkup.
