    Lets see. First the people that work there are usually morons that can't find your veins so they need to poke around a bit. Once they find it, they leave the needle in there for as long as it takes to fill up the bag. Sometimes your blood will flow very slowly. So then they will tell you should have drank more water, which is bullshit because I had drank gallons, but anyways now you have to open and close your hand repeatedly to try to pump more blood. This also increases the pain. They also won't let you go unless the bag is full, no matter how long it takes. You will feel lightheaded, and if your skinny you might pass out, I guess if your big then it will be easier for you.

    Then when youre finally done, which was the longest 2 hours of your life, you still feel sick/weak for the rest of the day.

    I used to be called to emory for plasma, I got paid 120 per time. But you have to have someone request you and your plasma. (I knew someone at CDC who used the plasma for testing...)
