had the worst blood drawing in 30 years. one old cranky nurse training a new one. the new nurse crimped up the bag line after about a teaspoon of blood came out and they told me i was done. i said i drove to give a pint and not a couple of drops. it took another 45 minutes to put another needle in and the older nurse got crankier by the moment after they took out the needle finally and i wanted to move on to juice and go home. i told her that was probably the worst donation in at least 100 i've done and she was still rude. if you want my blood be nice.
