Hanging - Blog Posts
OK, it’s going to be a little creepy my draw this time…
Don't leave a guy hanging!
A couple of weeks ago I donated platelets for the first time after years of donating whole blood and plasma. Everything seemed to go just fine until today. I got call asking if I could donate platelets again and the the person leaving the message said, "No, wait there was a problem with the platelets, could you donate whole blood or plasma instead."
That was it. There was no explanation of what the "problem" was. The woman just left me hanging. Come on, you can't leave a message like that without explaining the nature of the "problem."
I shot the Blood Source an E-mail and got a quick response saying that my platelet count was in the normal range, but just too low for donating on their current machines. Fine, in the future you could tell me that right up front instead of leaving me hanging.
