I would like to share a very unpleasant and concerning experience I had at this donation center…read more During my most recent visit, the staff made several serious mistakes in venous access technique. After the needle was inserted, the machine repeatedly showed no flow. The staff did palpate the puncture site, changed the angle of insertion, and attempted to reposition the needle several times, but their actions were ineffective, painful, and did not resolve the issue. Instead of releasing or at least loosening the blood pressure cuff--as required by standard procedure--they increased the pressure even further, leaving the cuff inflated almost the entire time. This caused my arm to pulse, go numb, and become increasingly painful, while the blood flow only got worse. My arm also began to turn noticeably red, which was alarming. Only after I demanded that they stop the procedure did they finally discontinue it. The staff did not make this decision on their own, despite clear signs that the situation was worsening. It is important to note that even a person without medical training knows the basic rule that the tourniquet or cuff must be released immediately after the vein is accessed and blood flow begins. This essential step was completely ignored. The blood flow remained extremely slow, and the repeated manipulation of the needle caused significant pain, a hematoma, and required a very tight compression dressing afterward. I would also like to emphasize that the exact same issue occurred during my previous visit, but even more severely. The needle was inserted far too deeply, apparently into the soft tissues, which caused intense pain. The procedure had to be stopped, and I still have a visible scar from that unsuccessful attempt. After experiencing these problems twice in a row, I cannot consider the staff at this center competent in venipuncture or capable of ensuring a safe donation process. I have decided not to return, and I sincerely hope that management will address the qualifications of their staff and take these issues seriously.

And before that in May they forgot to hook up the bottle so I couldn't donate for about six weeks.And today I waited for 3 hours and I ask where I was in line she said next. But they called someone else. Z told me I lost my place in line because I went to the bathroom.So needless to say I will be going somewhere else. That's 3 for 3 bad experiences. And they never told me when they forgot to hook up the bottle I couldn't come back. I didn't find out until I went the next time. And spent my time and gas going over there because I live in Pace. I never even got an apology. And I got up and left today after I was supposed to be next in line.I wasn't going to waste anymore of my time. 3 Hours is just to much. I've been going there for 2 years.I can honestly say they have dropped the ball one time to many.
