Perhaps also find some you tube clips of calm children having blood taken and watch them together and listen about her worries. Talk positively about it and work through your own feelings so she doesn't pick up on your distress.

Re: 4yr old and blood tests
Can you get bloods taken for something so she can see you being all calm and might help her be less scared about getting them done? Mine have had a couple of tests, but have always seen me getting some taken for various issues (pregnancy, thyroid, iron etc) so mine never freaked out.
Having said that - my sister still freaks out and she is over 40! I remember a few years ago taking her for a blood test and I had to hold her down - luckily I'm much bigger than her LOL
