In the time it takes for me to drive to my guitar lessons 45 miles away, do the 30 minute lesson, and drive home, I can donate an entire unit of 400 billion ir 4 X 10 (11th power)platelets through automated apheresis.
Blood banks must be very efficient in the United States. In Australia, I spend about ninety minutes at the blood bank - filling out the paperwork, being interviewed, making the donation, and then having a meal!
Hello! I am a recruiter for United Blood Services and I can tell you first hand how difficult it is to get people to donate. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you donors out there!
