If you were a pathologist and met a girl with scars over her arm?!
Question: If you were a pathologist and met a girl with scars over her arm.?
Ok, I cut. but I don't let people I know see it or know about it. But yesterday I had to get a blood test and I forgot about it, so the lady taking my blood saw them (I went by myself). It was only scars cause I haven't cut in a while. She asked me about it but I didn't say anything and after I said thanks and was leaving, she called out to tell me to stop doing it. But the question is, if you were her, and you're giving the tests to my doctor, would you tell him.? Or would you try and get in contact with my parents.? Or would you just leave it, because you think it's just a phase.?

Chances are she forgot. Those people take alot of blood and see alot of people during the day. She probably labelled your tubes, put them where they were supposed to go and went and chatted with the other employees. And then took the next person's blood.

Given your age she has a duty to let someone know. If she does is another thing. If anyone, she should tell your doctor but I doubt someone is going to look that info up and get involved. I'd be more worried about your cutting then about her telling someone. Get some help.Health Question & Answer
She is a phlebotomist, not a pathologist. Pathologists have medical degrees.
It would be unethical for her to contact your family, but less than acceptable, prudent practice to NOT inform your physician. Health Question & Answer

I would have pulled you to the side and tried to give you some really good advice and yes called your parents to get some help for you.
You need help because this is not a phase and you need to find out why you would ever want to do this and prevent it from ever happening again.
Believe me your parents love you and they want nothing but the best for you, so reach out to them.
Don't deal with this on your own.
Your not a bad person, just a person that needs some positive direction and so your future will be happy and healthy.
