A phlebotomist, named Toru, is sent to the Emergency Room to collect an EDTA specimen for a stat type and crossmatch (pink or lavender tube) on an accident victim.

Jake acknowledges her request. He finishes filling the lavender top and grabs a green top. After completing the draw, he takes the specimens straight to the laboratory to be processed immediately.
