Are you in USA and insured? If so, "routine bloodwork" is totally normal. You should have your bloodwork done at least once a year (typically during your PE which is also free if you're insurer). I agree that getting it done multiple times in a year = multiple clinic visits = signs of un-healthiness but a GP is going to check your bloodwork whether you like it or not to protect themselves from lawsuits. They will usually call you back and let you know that your bloodwork came back normal, if you're within healthy ranges but even in general, you really should get your bloodwork done every year! You can be active and healthy and have high cholesterol because of age/diet. I had high cholesterol as a skinny college kid because I was stupid enough to think "lean cuisine" could substitute my lunch and I could get by with just eating salad for dinner or another lean cuisine. i only point this out because there is absolutely nothing wrong with getting your bloodwork done! But as some who works in a medical field, I will tell you it goes both ways. Your blood only tells us a few vital things about your health. If you're healthy, generally you will have within normal ranges of certain things in your blood. If you're unhealthy, we can tell by your general state of health that you're unhealthy even if your bloodwork comes back within normal ranges.
