I have always been treated extremely nice and felt very appreciated when I have donated. However the Phlebotomist are human and can have off days just like any of us. I normally give platelets and so it does take awhile, and this week there were some mechanical problems which slowed them down. I am not sure about whole blood donation however. I do hope that you will continue to donate as it really does help save lives.
They want me too give platelets but if they don't care about me giving blood and want to try and take my blood why should I care. There wasn't anybody waiting to give blood that day but me. I wasn't in there 10 minutes and it was like I was bothering them because I was there, and they tell you to go home and come back in about two weeks and they try again. I Guarantee if I is it the hospital and needed blood they would have found a way to find a vein to give me blood I told them I wasn't in any hurry to keep trying and they told me no, To go home I would like to give platelets but not if somebody doesn't care about just taking blood because I know it takes longer to do politely and I say my blood the real good about doing that all I'm asking is the hire some good people can find a vein the cares about the people come in-and-out of their busy day to give blood for people that needed
