  • Giving blood just seems like such an easy way to put some good into the country (UBS ships the blood they collect all over the country!), so I do it every 8 weeks. This location is a little difficult to find, as it's in an office park that is totally empty all the time, all the way in the corner. It's very clean and the staff there are very nice (I had a terrible experience at the W Charleston center, where the staff is rude). I have had an experience at this location that was inconvenient, but was chalked up to a new tech not knowing all the donation options. Here's what to expect: 1. Your blood pressure, temperature and pulse will be taken. Your pulse must be under 100 bpm (hot weather increases pulse). If any of these are too high, you can't donate that day. 2. Your iron level will be tested with a prick on your finger. If your iron is too low, you can't donate. 3. There are 3 options for donation: whole blood, plasma and double red cell. Anyone can donate whole blood, although it makes many people woozy. Plasma can be donated by anyone who has never been pregnant. Double red cell requires you to be at least 5'5" and 150+ pounds. The last two options are the easiest on your body. 4. Your arms will be checked for lesions. If you have anything that could be construed as a needle mark, they will reject you. 5. You'll be asked some semi-uncomfortable questions about sex, but they're simply part of the screening process. 6. They'll do their best to make you comfy with blankets, heating pads, ice, refreshments, etc. 7. Whole blood takes about 20 minutes. Plasma takes about 30 minutes. Double red takes about 2 hours. (These times are for actual donation only. The interview, set-up and post-donation resting period/snack fest take more time) 8. Every time you go, regardless of whether you're able to donate or not, you'll receive a "prize", generally tickets to something (a 51s game, this time!). All in all, giving blood is the least I can do and the people here make it as easy and painless as possible!
