Answers:
I am a paramedic and the main reason for taking more than one tube is that blood clots quick once out of the body!. Having 3 tubes prevents them from drawing more a hour later if there was a problem!. They might have checked for the other things depending on the DR, but could have gotten results from the first tube!.
