If you could invent something new, what product would you develop?

Use specific details to explain why this invention is needed.

New inventions, no doubt, contribute a lot to the humans’ welfare, which I admire more than any other human activity. If I could devise anything, I would absolutely improve a new produce which would be called ‘mini blood test’. I believe that it would be a must product for all the sicks in the hospitals. I will descend to particulars of my view with remarcable reasons.

Initially, wondering all results of a blood test would exit in one minute by giving only a nip of blood from our fingers. Thus, human and work load in the hospitals could diminish in a maximum range. Doctors examine millions of people daily and have to take millions of blood tubes from them to be able to diagnose their ilnesses properly. For instance, when patients get examined in the morning, firstly, they give almost five tubes of blood, and have to wait for more than four hours for the results of the test. To show the doctors the results, they have to get an appointment again. Due to this tiring and time consuming process, not only do the doctors have to double check one patient in a day, but also the workers have to deal with innumerable tests afflictively. Considering all these facts, I believe that with the help of my invention the sick or labors would never struggle with such problems.

Furthermore, waiting for hours or sometimes even for days to get the results is rather a waste of time, and appliances operating with these tubes are an exceedingly financial loss. At the same time, taking blood operation gives the whole public too much pain. Especially cancer patients unfortunately pass the vast majority of their lives to be treated in the hospitals. In the last week, for instance, an old woman came in the bloodletting unit at eleven a.m., and as her vascular structure had become very bad, I, as a nurse, could try to take her blood in thrice attempts. I had to fritter away three injectors, six blood tubes and ten minutes for one patient. The patient complained about her troubles that she had to wait for two hours to be examined, one hour of which was just for the blood test. Needless to say, this idled away time could be used to repose herself and rest at home.

In conclusion, if we could use my dream equipment instead of other machines and gadgets, spending billions of dollars and time would become our income, and the hospitals would not be ordeal areas for anybody.
