I HATE POLITICS IN SOCCER AS MUCH AS I LOVE RACISM IN SOCCER
I did biomat and talecris, one did cash while the other did prepaid debit.

I asked to be stuck in the same spot twice a week for a year because I didn't want multiple needle marks on my arms, so now I have one large scar in the crook of my elbow. There's only one of them and it's hidden when I bend my arm, so nobody has ever asked about it, except doctors. I think it's kind of cool, like a target for phlebotomists.

If you have to pee before donation, do it, since you might be waiting to finish up or get disconnected.

Eat well and drink lots of water. Don't eat immediately before, blood gets fatty if you eat heavily prior.

Why are you choosing to donate rather than work a second gig? The time commitment is about the same.

Also: I won the biomat raffle twice in one week because the phlebotomist girls thought I was cute.
