donating plasma is a waste of time.... they give u like 15/30 bucks max and they make 300 to 500 bucks with ur plasma to hospitals just like when u sell gold at cash for gold centers
i just donated today in louisiana it does not hurt. it hurts more when they prick your finger. iv been donating for a while so far today has been my 20th time. 80 more times and i get a 500$ bonus. right now im getting paid 25$ my first time of the week and 35$ for my second time of the week. it takes me about 45 min. but i only donate 690. also for those who donate, DO NOT tighten your musle or flench. it will hurt alote. so just relax and dont look at it when they put it in.
It takes HUGE amts of plasma to make small amts. of lifesaving medications. The $ you get is considered compensation for your donation, not payment. It is safe as long as you meet requirements (you need to be honest about your medical history) and you take care of yourself (be hydrated, eat right).
For you idiots below. If you got paid for your time, you would get more money the days your there longer which you don't, u still get 20 bucks.. If you got payed for your plasma, you could put a price on that shit ("I'm healthier, I want 40 bucks) but you can't, u still get 20 bucks.. If both of you idiots knew any better you would know that you get paid 20 bucks for each visit in which you donate. Pendejos!!!!
@TheCarlee123 i thought u had 2 b 18 to donate. i live in so cal, and it's $25 for 1st time of the week, 30 the second time within that same week. that's if u r over 170 lbs and can donate the maximum ammount. every 6th donation within a month u get $10 more. doesn't hurt much, actually the pin prick when they check your blood before donation hurts more. i still drink a lot (everyday) and lift heavy at the gym and haven't notice any difference.
I used to work for a plasma donation center. I would like to speak to everyone who says that its fraudulent, or that you're screwing your body over by donating. Let me blast all of you. Plasma is a material that your body is CONSTANTLY manufacturing. You dont run out of it. Once the plasma is donated, it is turned over to companies like Octapharma. Octapharma is a company that takes the plasma and uses it for medicine and other life saving components for trauma victims, injured military
@kd7zbx First of all, human plasma is NOT a material, it's a liquid running through our blood. We have RBCs (Red Blood Cells) Platelets, White blood cells and Plasma (the liquid). We are compensated for our time and not our Plasma.
@PlatinumRomance Do me a favor and dont lecture me about what the blood is composed of. I know very well. I am sorry that my wording was wrong for you. But I know damn well what plasma is. And if you knew how much the pharmaceuticals paid for it, you would know that you are being paid for the plasma and NOT your time.
@kd7zbx Dam n you're dumber than i thought. If you knew what you were talking (which you dont) then you sure in the hell would sound like it. You CANNOT sell your plasma. It is ILLEGAL for you as an individual to sell blood products. Your blood is sold by the company that took your blood (UBS, plasma centers etc) to hospitals and clinics because THEY are licensed and government regulated. If we were paid for our Plasma...then they would have to tax us and they dont. I work in O.R FYI :D
the neddles dont hurt if you get a nurse that knows what she id actually doing. this past year i've been getting blood tests because i have or had a sever case of psoarisis and with the meds im taking they have to do it and my nurse who does the blood draw has no clue what she's doing and it hurts like hell. also i have to give self-injected shots wich also hurts like hell. so this year i fell like a pin cushin. so be thankful you got a good nurse who knows how to do an I V
i am a college student who can't get a job. so i went to donate and got 30 dollars. however, that's only for first time donors. because i weigh less i get paid less. so for any following visit, i get 15 dollars. even though i'm giving the same amount as someone that weighs more. forgive me for not packing on gratuitous pounds. i strive to be healthy despite being so broke.
@MrItsthatguy no they give you a prepaid debit card usually. It beats some flaw in the law system where you cant pay actually money for organs and such.
I am donating/selling (whatever you want to call it) plasma tomorrow Im doing it not because im on drugs and need the money but because i lost my job and that same week my husband had to miss work so we are a bit behind on being able to pay the bills. So those of you who are telling people to enjoy the beer money and their tainted blood stop being an ass and do your research.
If you have Convergence Insufficiency (CI), don't bother trying to donate at Biolife until you have finished vision therapy for it, because Biolife is not understanding at all toward people who have CI.
I wonder if it is wise to intentionally expose one's self to Phthalates on a regular basis...I mean, like from the bag of saline and the tubing, directly entering your blood stream...anyone know??
The Wonder Twins in LA donate plasma at ABS in Tarzana, it gives them food and gas money to survive while they are pursuing entertaining careers. They will be on America's Got Talent in July, in fact a picture of Tim in a black speedo on stage with Tom is on the America's got Talent LA auditions front page. Check it out, and vote for them!
@sydonabike Don't these plasma centers screen for drugs? I'd like to start donating just to keep up with my bills. I got laid off and just finished college but I'm still having a hard time finding a job with the messed up economy.
@sydonabike That's why I don't understand why people say that all plasma donators are drug addicts. If they get screened for drugs, they'd fail the drug test and wouldn't be able to donate. I have no use for drugs, I just need money to catch up on bills until I find a job.
well, they're slick and try to go clean a while before going...or too broke that they have no choice to go clean.
One guy died and his family tried suing but it failed, because as it turned out he was also donation to another center two times a week. On his autopsy they said he had little if any plasma at all.
BUT....How did the one they tried to sue, not catch that he was dramatically low on protein levels and other things? ...Both parties are crooked
Donation might have pluses. I've been doing it since Sept 2009. But today I stop. I get to looking around at the people in there and they all have that same fallen in look. I don't know whether to blame the frequent donations or their lifestyles, But , It can't be healthy doing it 2 times every week.
In San Diego its $80 for the first two donations. Pretty good, im looking at the comments of other citys and countrys and so far San Diego pays the most woo woo. Proud to be a San Diegan LMAO!!!!!!!
@fenderstrat91 yeah your right. i didnt even think of why we would pay more. but yeah its hella expensive. gas is high, food is high, fines is high and living is omg through the roof. the cheapest studio out here in SD can you run you around $700. in some states/cities for $700 you can get a house lol.
Damn, in czech republic they pay approx. 22dollars per donation. And u can donate only once in 14days, because of our newest medical laws (trying to protect donors..).
donating is the best! its the easiest money you could make. the people that are bashing it probably have aids so they got denied from donating. or they have to answer yes to the " have you had sex with a male anytime after 1970."
@cms444 That aids part is funny lol. I once got denied 2 years ago because of my tattoos. I have full sleeves and the nurse was worried that the tattoo ink might contaminate the plasma. After doing research I found out that professional tattoo ink is non toxic to blood, plasma and organs. Now the nurse says they're concerned about scarring that might be caused from tattooing. I have to talk to a nurse tomorrow. I have no scars over my vains so I'm hoping I can finally donate.
are you sure that the blood comes back to you that would seem idk a bit odd. did the nurse tell you that? also where did you go to find a place to donate your plasma?
@worldoncrack- they dont pay for your plasma, they pay for the time you spent donating. Thats why its still a donation.
@big31074 - those machines are alot different than the ones we use here in NM. Looks alot easier to hook donors up to..how long did it take you to donate?
if its that unimportant to your body then why do they pay alot for it ?
they say it helps alot of sick people , well what goes around comes around
and i can imagine they make anti aging expensive meds with that to the richest people on earth while you idiots will have a kidney or liver failure in years and think that is probably have nothing to do with loosing shit load of your natural plasma and replacing it with some chemicals that gives you funny mouth taste , enjoy your beer money ; )
@WorldOnCrack Research suggests that the closest thing to long term problems would be a decrease in antibodies for a week or two. And also it's used for people who don't have an altogether there immune system (like HIV positive). And other, newer, research suggests that it will cause your body to build antibodies faster, lowering risk for heart disease. I understand that selling something everyone makes can seem morally wrong, but it is best to actually look into these things.
@MrWhiteboy93 I wish all medical facilities conpensated us for our time. We could make a fortune off the time we spend in some of them waiting rooms. lol
@WorldOnCrack Basically, plasma carries a lot of the body's nutrients. The body naturally replenishes plasma, which is why you can donate plasma twice a week. And they don't replace it with chemicals. They take a pint of your blood, filter out the plasma, and then pump your blood back into you, and within 48 hours, your body has naturally replenished the plasma that you lost. As far as uses...who cares? You get paid to do something not harmful to your body.
I am a phlebotomist at a plasma donation center. First off, posting a video of your plasma donation on youtube like this is a HUGE HIPAA violation and you can get in serious trouble for it. Second off, your phlebotomist made multiple mistakes on the iodine scrub and she shoud NEVER touch the site again after the iodine scrub. And make sure you have your facts straight. Do you still donate at this center? And Im curious, is it a Biomat?
@mooskab yeah i heard that in my earlier posts.. so this is a good teaching tool for other not to the do this mistake, as for the violation. when i receive an authorized person from the hipaa, then i will remove it.... also, it might be biomat or not.. ill let ya decide :) thanks for the post
@mooskab Greeting! I guess I'm curious as to what one would look for in choosing(?) a donation center? e. g. clean environment, but other clues as to whether or not a center is operating safely/properly? Many Thanks & Take Care!
@oldflatus Definitely a clean environment, e.g. the donor beds are being cleaned after each donation. If you don't know the Standard Operating Procedures, it can be difficult to determine whether that center is operating properly or not. Try to look for a center where the staff is polite and upbeat, I've noticed that if the workers are enjoying their job, they are more likely to not take shortcuts just to get donors through. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask me. :)
@FlyLady13 The phlebotomist made the following mistakes: 1- the iodine circle is too large. 2- on the second swab, the phlebotomist picked the swab off the site multiple times. 3- the phlebotomist felt for the vein AFTER the site had already been prepped with the iodine. 4- the phlebotomist touched the iodine site to anchor down the skin.
@Mustavalava ah okay thanks, looks like i need to wait for 2 years :/ I wont be selling my blodd or anything I'd give it for free:) I'm good like that :P
@onedollarman1 - There paying u to give -PLASMA/BLOOD- just donating is the best way to put it. basically your helping someone out that needs it, and in return they pay u little amounts of money to donate.. some people do it weekly some do it occasionally!? im hurting right now cause my job so im goin 2mrw morning for the 1st time..
@yamashitarocks Like 30 to 45 min, I donate concentrated doses of red blood cells, so it's the same process except I receive the plasma and give away a pint of concentrated blood cells. I do it because I'm o neg :P
You guys get paid for plasma? And I've been donating it for free all this time :p I don't think we pay people in Canada to donate, which is nice to see so many people still doing it.
the "donation" you do, goes directly to the pharmaindustry, and they make really good money with it. you get 20 dollars i think. - so, in fact you support the rich pharmaindustry to get even richer. your plasma is MUCH more worth than just 20 dollars ;-) and the people who donate dont even get scanned for drugs as far as i know, and i know it.
@corona333 you do realize we live in a capitalist govt.. everything is for profit... you buy gas, you make oil companies rich... you donate blood, you give hospitals profit for free when you need it.... you buy prescription pills, you make pharmaceuticals money. So unless we had our own machines, then until then its donating. Thank you... If the plasma isnt tainted, that's all that matters.. anyone wont care when the day they seriously need it.
@big31074 i care about tainted plasma no matter what. i saw people entering the building to donate -.- how can you think that people do not care about tainted plasma? do you drink salt water when thirsty?
@corona333 have you heard of a pandemic of tainted plasma? no.. so as long as they doing it right.. no need to be chicken little and yell the sky is falling
Id say you guys got ripped xD i donated when i had mono for medical research and they gave me $200 per donation up to $1600 a month...not that its any fun having mono... and they only do it the first time you get it, something about the antibodies being at their highest rate or something
@src438 do your research before you talk crap. 5 posts about the same thing.. If I call this a scam then consider blood donations a scam. You donate blood but in return you get charged when you need it...
CarlLewenski you are truely a asshole and a bastard all rolled into one I know plenty of people who donate and they are not crackheads or alcoholics they come from all different walks of life and they donate to save lifes YOU JACKASS!
@Raven131984 hey thanks for the backup. I hate it when people just assume without getting their details straight. Yes, they been telling me on previous post that the girl didn't do it correctly. I'm glad this video has gotten alot of input
big31074 hate to be the one to tell you but everything done during your plasma donation was WRONG. That phlebotomist should have been fired on the spot she could have got you sick with a staff infection and you could have died thank god you didn't. I'm a phlebotomist myself and your taught from day one not to retouch the site where you scrub because it can cause a staff infection.
@SouthTexasRich First off if your trying to sound smart you don't. It's PHLEB not FLEEB learn to spell you jack ass! I'm willing to bet as poor as your English is that's as poor as your sticking is anything you want to compare stick counts we can do that but at least if you want to sound smart come at me with something better then that.
soo. i heard that they poke you a couple times to find the plasma, like digging. is that true? or is it just one time poke? please answer soon somebode, im donating in like an hour!!
@guitarsaiyan - Plasma is a part of your blood. It's like water of your blood. All of the other parts (red and white blood cells, platelets) float in the plasma. To get the plasma, they draw your blood and separate out the plasma with a machine (you get your own sterile one-time-use kit). They then give you back everything but your plasma along with some saline and anticoagulant. It's very safe. The only reason they MIGHT have to dig is if they miss the vein with the needle on the first try.
@CarlLewenski First of all its not blood. Second, Im not an alcoholic or a crackhead. Third: all plasma is tested. and Last: maybe an alcoholic will crash into you and your gonna need an alcoholic's blood to save your life lol
i think its great you did it, dont mind people saying dont accept money for it bla bla...
doctors in your country dont treat you for nothing as well now, do they? ^^
my question is: how about the infection risks?
i mean if the person that donated plasma right before you had AIDS, could you get infected? what about hep B or C? i'm curious about it, but was not able to find any answers via google.
Does it hurt while the blood is being sucked out?

After doing research I found out that professional tattoo ink is non toxic to blood, plasma and organs. Now the nurse says they're concerned about scarring that might be caused from tattooing. I have to talk to a nurse tomorrow. I have no scars over my vains so I'm hoping I can finally donate.

@worldoncrack- they dont pay for your plasma, they pay for the time you spent donating. Thats why its still a donation.
@big31074 - those machines are alot different than the ones we use here in NM. Looks alot easier to hook donors up to..how long did it take you to donate?
ambiebambie88 1 year ago
if its that unimportant to your body then why do they pay alot for it ?
they say it helps alot of sick people , well what goes around comes around
and i can imagine they make anti aging expensive meds with that to the richest people on earth while you idiots will have a kidney or liver failure in years and think that is probably have nothing to do with loosing shit load of your natural plasma and replacing it with some chemicals that gives you funny mouth taste , enjoy your beer money ; )

@WorldOnCrack Research suggests that the closest thing to long term problems would be a decrease in antibodies for a week or two. And also it's used for people who don't have an altogether there immune system (like HIV positive). And other, newer, research suggests that it will cause your body to build antibodies faster, lowering risk for heart disease. I understand that selling something everyone makes can seem morally wrong, but it is best to actually look into these things.

marilyn007manson1 8 months ago
@WorldOnCrack Basically, plasma carries a lot of the body's nutrients. The body naturally replenishes plasma, which is why you can donate plasma twice a week. And they don't replace it with chemicals. They take a pint of your blood, filter out the plasma, and then pump your blood back into you, and within 48 hours, your body has naturally replenished the plasma that you lost. As far as uses...who cares? You get paid to do something not harmful to your body.

@sneakers55 thats good to know :)
big31074 1 year ago
I am a phlebotomist at a plasma donation center. First off, posting a video of your plasma donation on youtube like this is a HUGE HIPAA violation and you can get in serious trouble for it. Second off, your phlebotomist made multiple mistakes on the iodine scrub and she shoud NEVER touch the site again after the iodine scrub. And make sure you have your facts straight. Do you still donate at this center? And Im curious, is it a Biomat?
mooskab 1 year ago 2
@mooskab yeah i heard that in my earlier posts.. so this is a good teaching tool for other not to the do this mistake, as for the violation. when i receive an authorized person from the hipaa, then i will remove it.... also, it might be biomat or not.. ill let ya decide :) thanks for the post
big31074 1 year ago
@mooskab Greeting! I guess I'm curious as to what one would look for in choosing(?) a donation center? e. g. clean environment, but other clues as to whether or not a center is operating safely/properly? Many Thanks & Take Care!
oldflatus 1 year ago
@oldflatus Definitely a clean environment, e.g. the donor beds are being cleaned after each donation. If you don't know the Standard Operating Procedures, it can be difficult to determine whether that center is operating properly or not. Try to look for a center where the staff is polite and upbeat, I've noticed that if the workers are enjoying their job, they are more likely to not take shortcuts just to get donors through. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask me. :)

FlyLady13 1 year ago
@FlyLady13 The phlebotomist made the following mistakes: 1- the iodine circle is too large. 2- on the second swab, the phlebotomist picked the swab off the site multiple times. 3- the phlebotomist felt for the vein AFTER the site had already been prepped with the iodine. 4- the phlebotomist touched the iodine site to anchor down the skin.

the "donation" you do, goes directly to the pharmaindustry, and they make really good money with it. you get 20 dollars i think. - so, in fact you support the rich pharmaindustry to get even richer. your plasma is MUCH more worth than just 20 dollars ;-) and the people who donate dont even get scanned for drugs as far as i know, and i know it.

So unless we had our own machines, then until then its donating. Thank you... If the plasma isnt tainted, that's all that matters.. anyone wont care when the day they seriously need it.

big31074 hate to be the one to tell you but everything done during your plasma donation was WRONG. That phlebotomist should have been fired on the spot she could have got you sick with a staff infection and you could have died thank god you didn't. I'm a phlebotomist myself and your taught from day one not to retouch the site where you scrub because it can cause a staff infection.

big31074 1 year ago
@guitarsaiyan - Plasma is a part of your blood. It's like water of your blood. All of the other parts (red and white blood cells, platelets) float in the plasma. To get the plasma, they draw your blood and separate out the plasma with a machine (you get your own sterile one-time-use kit). They then give you back everything but your plasma along with some saline and anticoagulant. It's very safe. The only reason they MIGHT have to dig is if they miss the vein with the needle on the first try.

my question is: how about the infection risks?
i mean if the person that donated plasma right before you had AIDS, could you get infected? what about hep B or C? i'm curious about it, but was not able to find any answers via google.
