    This business is practicing Discriminatory procedures…read more I entered the Kedrion Plasma center, Address 8989 sut#100 Dallas,Tx 75243, on July 22, 2021 between the hours of 9:00a.m. and 11:00a.m. I provided them with two forms of I.D. and proof of residence. The KedPlasma personnel then instructed me to thoroughly review the information in a Binder with health facts and other basic deferral knowledge. In this Binder it states "A recent tattoo may affect your eligibility to donate for a period of 4 months up to 12 months, depending on the state in which the tattoo was applied. You may be eligible to donate if your tattoos are older." After reviewing the information in the binder I was instructed to watch a 20 minute video that basically reiterated the information given in the Health Binder. After the video then came a 50+ questionnaire that I accurately completed. Then came the Health screening that was given to me by an impeccably courteous staff member by the name of Aseel. After passing the Screening I met with the Physician, a very colorful woman by the name of Brandi, with a tattoo of a Caterpillar on one ear and a Butterfly on the other. As a part of the physical she had to log all of my tattoos in detail so they would be able to tell if I ever received any new tattoos in the future. Which makes complete sense because hepatitis can be received through dirty needles that could possibly come from a tattoo, but my tattoos are 8 years old and healthy. After logging the tattoos on my forearms we came to the one on my left pectoral and then Brandi the Physician stated "It is the Policy of KedPlasma to deny anyone with a gang tattoo." I am a 27 year old black male that has been denied an opportunity to donate plasma at their facility not because of my health but because my tattoo is GANG RELATED. I have donated at the CSL Plasma and Octapharma Plasma centers with these same tattoos and was not denied. What my tattoo says should not determine the value of the person that who is donating. This is the clearest practice of discrimination I have ever endured and I deeply believe that "Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are." -Benjamin Franklin

    American Red Cross Blood Donation Center - My 25th blood donation

    If you haven't donated blood in a long time or ever, I recommend heading to an American Red Cross…read moreBlood Donation Center to do it. The closest facility to me is in Plano, TX. I made my appointment online through the American Red Cross Blood Donation app. It allows you to find available appointments by day, time, and location. Once you have scheduled your appointment, you will need to use the app to complete the pre-checkin questionnaire. It will take you a lot of time to complete this whether or not this is your first or tenth time. Be sure to block off a good 30 minutes to an hour to get it done. The information needs to accurate to present day. Questions range from travel destinations in the past three years, sexual activity, and medications you are currently taking. They want to make sure that you blood donation can actually be used to help someone get better, so screening is an important first step. When you arrive to your appointment, you'll need to show your government photo identification. You will also show a QR code from the app to fast track your appointment. You will be invited to a private room for a mini health screening where they will take your temperature, blood pressure, your hemoglobin count, and verify information from your health questionnaire. If all is well, you'll be placed on a gurney where a well trained phlebotomist will place a needle in the vein of your arm. After a few minutes of being drained of some blood, you will be directed to the cantina where you can refuel with some juice and snacks. You'll want to stay in this area for at least 15 minutes to recoup your strength. I'm happy to report that the phlebotomist was able to get the needle in me without digging around for the vein. I had no bruising for the first time in a very long time. I was impressed. Unfortunately, I have a tendency to pass out after donating. The last time I did, I started to feel the rush of heat and clamminess while I was still on the gurney. This time, it happened when I was sitting up in the cantina. Thankfully I wasn't driving. I was able to ask another donor to get me some help. My phlebotomist came over with a gurney and had me lay down immediately. She placed a cool cloth around my neck and stayed with me until she was sure I was okay. Our current blood supply is in a critical state. If you can give blood, please make an appointment today. If you can't, please encourage others to do it. You never know when you or a loved one will be on the other end of needing this life saving blood.

    Happy World Blood Donor Day! It just so happened this day coincides with my regularly scheduled,…read moreevery 56 days blood donation day (: a happy coincidence. I recently relocated to the area and this was my very first time visiting this blood donation center. I have religiously donated to the American Red Cross for decades now and wanted to continue that consistency. In all honesty, I was really anxious about donating here after reading a majority of the reviews. I have a ton going on right now, navigating a relocation, new job, new home, my weekly running mileage, new climate etc. and I knew I was in no condition to endure any mishaps that would potentially cause me to not feel well or put me off on the commitment to my ARC blood donations. My sons gf is a nurse and if you know me, you know I love the F word, but there's one in particular that I can't handle when it comes to veins, needles, and blood donations and that's "fishing". I did not want it to come down to missing a vein, "fishing" around for one or any issue that would cause me pain/discomfort or a bad first experience here at this center. I'm so glad I overcame my apprehension about coming to my appointment, because every single interaction from my 1230p check in, screening and blood draw was 5 STAR! The staff on duty during my visit were incredible and I pray I get them every time. I've always been a strong advocate of donating blood. It's something I'm wildly passionate about. Please consider donating if you haven't, it's extremely rewarding knowing the direct impact it has on human lives. Wonderful experience for my 105th pint donation today.
