My hubby is like that. You have to search really hard for one of his larger veins or it wont work. His blood clots wicked fast and if you keep trying to get it out of a smaller vein he will actually pass out for a few minutes. But yeah, the whole blood is the blood, the palets, and something else.. point is it doesnt hurt you to give it and it helps them to get it. I dont know why they even have to ask. I dont know anyone who cares and is like "No! Blood only the palets are miiinnneee!!"

I need to go donate. I want juice and cookies... oh, and to help the local hospital and all that you know...
