Do you mean like a plot device?
Tis true. But Phlebotonum is so much cooler.
Am also rather fond of phlebotonology to pass the time, and sympathetic to those who suffer phlebotonophobia, and thus, are rather screwed...
Very much a Joss Whedon term, as used on Buffy and elsewhere (even if only mentioned in notes in the script).
