Default Extra Blood test allowed??

My doctor would like to send me for a blood test for an "unrelated to Cohens" medical test - i'm just not sure - are extra blood tests allowed? as it says in my program under NO circumstances should you give blood... i know a blood test isn't as much as giving blood but just wanted to check

As far as I am aware you are "allowed" to have extra tests... because my clinic even sent me for extra tests when they wanted to check something out. It really is about the volume of blood that they take during a donation that is the issue, I think.

I can't imagine that having blood tests for medical conditions would be a problem... you have to take care of your health!
