A chunk of yesterday was teaching students how to do blood glucose tests on themselves. I had to demo on myself 6 times.
Today, I'm back on #platelet donation.
Lots of blood stuff in two days. Good thing I'm not squeamish.

All set for a final #platelet donation of the year, got plumbed in and draw started, then the machine errors out. Donation abandoned. Bah.

Anyway. #giveblood

Back on the #platelet machine.
Giving 580 billion platelets and 280 ml (or half a pint in old money) of plasma.
And I get to lay down for an hour while I do it!
#giveblood
It has been a while but I'm back on the #platelet machine giving an armful - 5.8x10¹¹ platelets.
#giveblood.
Not everyone can. So if you’ve donated once can, please do
