Managed to grab a bit of food (2 breakfast bars and a green tea) on my way to the blood drive &#8211; so I didn&#8217;t have any problems with getting sick afterward.  The experience was pretty good and the staff were friendly. <\/p>\n<p>Only one slight downward note was the trainee that took my history.   He was very nervous and when he went to take my temperature, he didn&#8217;t get the plastic sleeve on the metal temperature probe.  Neither of us noticed until I bit down on metal.  I handed it back to him and explained the problem.  He was quite freaked out and I knew it was a simple accident. <\/p>\n<p>As he cleaned off the probe, the supervisor that was hovering over him said that the metal probe without the plastic would have burned my mouth.  So, it was apparently a bigger deal than it seemed.  The rest of the process went smoothly and he did a far better job at the finger stick than the last trainee I had.  (they had used too much pressure and blood had spurted onto their lab coat &#8211; I felt bad about that, but it really wasn&#8217;t my fault).<\/p>\n<p>The actual donation part went very smoothly and I was out of there 45 minutes after I had walked in.
