I would like to expand my vocabulary with some medical terms in English. I have been thinking about how to say, for example, if I go to see a doctor for a blood test.
Q1) Are these my phrases correct?
a) "Tomorrow I will have to see a doctor on an empty stomach to take blood for a REGULAR blood test."
b) "Tomorrow I will have to see a doctor on an empty stomach to take blood for a ROUTINE blood test."
c) "Tomorrow I will have to see a doctor to take blood for a REGULAR FASTING blood test."
d) "Tomorrow I will have to see a doctor to take blood for a ROUTINE FASTING blood test."
Q2) Does the phrase "fasting" can be used instead of "on an empty stomach" as I write it?
Q3) I came across the term "a routine blood-work". Is it another term for "a blood test"?
Thanks
