Blood Test phobia

Question

Blood Test phobia

Asked for Male, 32 Years

My father is 79 and has some mental disorder since childhood but never treated. He has many traits which are different from normal person. Now he has got peripheral edema due to which his legs and ankles are swollen, so we need to take his blood test for diagnosis. My question - Is there any other way or method to take blood if patient is refusing due to fear that it will hurt? We all tried to explain him everything but due to being mentally unstable and fear of anything uncomfortable, he is always refusing aggressively and fighting with us verbally to avoid it.
