The shelf life is very short for platelets, and they say there is a big need. <br /><br />I appreciate what the Red Cross does. Eventually I became a research subject, which pays me and knocks me out of the donor pool for blood donations. <br /><br />cheers!<br /><br />Charles W Abbott<br />charliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02620434574883840006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-72637678477159108052020-11-04T17:07:35.386-05:002020-11-04T17:07:35.386-05:00I'll bear that in mind.

I've no idea what the guts of their machines look like.jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01792036361407527304noreply@blogger.com
