I had a glass blood test pricked by a piece of glass in the 90s is that normal

I remember when I was a little girl and my mom had to hold my finger down while a doctor cut my finger to collect blood sample was that normal or was that how they use to collect blood test ? I tried to google it I just remember a lot of weird shady things about shots a medicine in the 90s. Like in the 2000s I remember a lot of kids lineing up in the school library to recieve a shot in the arm in the middle of school hours? That’s the creepy weird crap I remember about my child hood and now I homeschool my child I will be there through his whole child hood I’m
