Im trying to find out how I can report the nurse staff here these women are mental and try and make you feel crazy. They are falsely and criminally misdiagnosing folks without consulting with your primary care dr. I was told I had kidney failure I knew it was a lie. They had went n got my family history and said it was me. Went as far as to saying I had heart problems In the end it was all thrown right back in their face it was proven I had none of that and it was also proven that they discussed my medical history which is a violation of my privacy. Twanna Williams is the nurse mainly and her boss Tonya they are sociopath's in the medical field your life is in danger the little money aint worth your sanity far as Im concerned they all should be brought before the board and fired its disgusting what they are doing

PBS stated my protein levels were too low to donate and deferred me for a year. Strange enough my doctor and Lifeline Blood states my protein levels were satisfactory. Does PBS know what what they are doing? I think not!

If you have a high bp or pulse they will let you sit for 15 minutes to see if it goes down. If it doesn't you must wait until the next day.

When you give blood, how long do you have to wait before you can leave......

Lynn Burton | Oct 22, 2018
Donna McCord | Oct 22, 2018

Good question. The first time you go, you will get a FREE physical. They check you all over for scars and they check your blood for any problems. They wantt to make sure you are not a drug user. Now I take 6 different medications bc i have overactive thyroid, high blood pressure, and arthritis. So all of my meds are prescribed. 90% of people are fine with their meds. It takes approx an hour to go through the process. Do no eat greasy foods or noodles, rice or milk because it thickens your blood. You will need a piece of mail showing your address, a photo I.D. and your ss card. Once you do the main process, the rest is very quick. You can only give twice within 7 days. If you follow these guidelines you donation will take about 1 hr depending on your weight. Please tell them Donna McCord referred you because i will get an extra $10. Thanks.

Carrie Oldner | Oct 22, 2018
Donna McCord | Oct 22, 2018

Also, the night before you go, do NOT eat greasy foods or milk or milk by products..eg milkshakes or ice cream. I always have a quart fruit smoothie with powdered protein. Drink LOTS of water. If you have tattoos, they can only be 6 months or older. You have to live in the state where you are giving plasma. If you are giving in Jackson, I'd appreciate it if you say Donna McCord referred you. Ive been doing this for 3 years and i have good info on things to make the experience better. And you will get $50 for your first 5 visits (you can give twice weekly) so you'll get $100 your first 2 weeks and then it will be based on your weight. If you have any questions just inbox me.
