Unfortunately Ian focused on "phlegm" thinking it was at the root of "phlebotomist".

I assume he was confusing phlebotomy with phlegm?

I had the right answer, but hearing his logic made me second guess myself. I think without that, I'd have gotten it.

Is there a doctor that specializes in phlegm? Not much to study there, I'd imagine. Probably fall under the ear nose and throat doctor's purview?

So far, so good.
