another one is, have you had allergies since you last donated?
i know some people just say to lie for every question. technically they screen every donation, but it’s not supposedly a reliable test for something like HIV.
i’m pretty sure i’m just allergic to reality. sometimes just constant sneezing, even when i’m on an antihistamine.
obviously best to just be aware of one’s behavior and risk factors. do they do this just avoid liability?
That would be a better and more helpful question. Again, I think they are backing that liability truck up to an anonymous loading dock in New Jersey
Yeah, I think bodily fluid donation is governed by federal legislation, so it’s a felony to violate the regulations, right? Canadian here. That would make me want to cover my ass too.
Our donations can’t be paid and there are a lot fewer people donating, so all I know about it is that Canadian Blood Services would rather throw your blood out on the off-chance that you’re lying than actually send it for testing. I guess they want a sure thing and the testing is a formality. Probably the US is the same.
Is or perhaps was regulated in the u.s. who knows It’s like moral confetti
Need to clarify; blood donation is not plasma donation; I’m sure Canada has a million thousand qualified phlebotomists
…I am aware blood is not plasma. Canadian Blood Services oversees the donation of both since they are both blood products. I am using the term colloquially to help you understand my perspective since you are not Canadian.
Since you apparently don’t understand that, bye.
So the distinction between blood and plasma is colloquial to you?
So here is the context:
Yes, this is a colloquialism that I made purposely to illustrate my larger point. Again, if you can’t understand that, there is no point in further discussion. Bye. If you reply again I will block you.
Block away baby
On it, dumbass.
Well, since that one isn’t listening anymore, my intention was never to employ subterfuge against Canadian phlebotomists, just to be clear
