The pain associated with a finger prick is basically constant. The pain associated with a veinous blood draw depends heavily on the patient and the skill of the phlebotomist. I can see how someone with hard to locate veins and one or two bad experiences would prefer the finger prick.

I would think that patients would probably prefer a /choice/ in that matter. Particularly those of us who have easier to draw from arm veins or those of us who mostly work with their fingertips (not just those operating keyboards; many professionals fit this category).
