Donating! 🩸 If you can, please do, too!

#BloodDonation #sanquin

Heh, it's the same dance every time.

"Have you donated from this arm before?"
"Yes, always the left arm."
"This is a very narrow vein. I will call a more experienced colleague [this time a super young lady in a headscarf 💚] to do it."
(I'm happy they do check! It's just always kinda funny ... I can tell them by now that there are two veins and that it is easier to feel them than to see.)

And then they are surprised that I'm done in 5 min max. Narrow veins but good blood flow.

@vicgrinberg
Don't they check the vein by touching it? They do with me at least every time, although they clearly see it.
@ditol they do! But one of them is pretty much invisible by eye alone and comparatively far away from the worse than that is visible - at least that's what they told me 😅
