Will it be the left arm or the right arm?

Staff Sgt. Thomas C. Sullivan Jr., 319th Medical Support Squadron laboratory technician, wraps the left arm of retired Master Sgt. Stephen Tyler with a rubber band prior to taking a blood sample May 22, 2013, at the medical laboratory on Grand Forks Air Force Base, N.D. Rubber bands restrict blood flow in the arm, which cause veins to dilate allowing lab techs to select the most suitable vein to draw a blood sample from. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Luis Loza Gutierrez)
