Heelpricks
edit Heelprick, an Rdr to the accompanying article, is linked from that article forming a self-loop, which i will quickly fix.
On the longer term, 1 other article links to it, and either an anchor for the Rdr to target should be created in the appropriate 'graph, or the lead graph should use language like
- Fingersticks (and their analogue, heelpricks) ....

Non-US terminology?
editIs the term 'fingerstick' used anywhere else than in the US? I haven't heard it before (I'm in Australia). If not, I propose it be renamed 'fingerprick', or 'pinprick'... Tom W (talk) 16:01, 1 January 2017 (UTC)
