I called them on a Friday and was told by a lady that I would be paid $40 for my donations unless I had a Hep B vaccination from my doctor then I would be paid $75(if I qualified?) so I made an appointment for Thursday to donate. I didn't have a Hep B vaccination so I made an appointment with my tax funded medical doctor to get one on Monday. My doctor told me a vaccine was unnecessary if my immunity was good which it was. While waiting for the results of my Hep B test I called them back to reschedule and talked to a man who told me I would be paid $25 not $40 without a vaccine which they did themselves. They were supposed to email me and remind me a few days before my appointment which they never did. It seems every time I call there I get conflicting information. Also, I was told that I would have to sign a release form releasing them of any and all damages to myself which may occur by them. So, if I were to be infected with AIDS and die it would be MY fault not theirs. NO THANK YOU.

Was told by the employee I made a appt. with that it could take up to 2 hours for the initial intake. So I made a 830am appt. After ariving I waited about 1 1/2 hours before I started the paperwork. After 2 1/2 hours I went to the front desk to ask what was going on, the employee said \_well they should have told you you it can take up to 2 hours\_ looked at my arival time and said \_OH\_. So the started with my intake, CPU work and minor blood work, pricking my finger. When that was done I asked about how much longer. I was told it would be about 2 more hours. After the 3rd hour, about 3 1/2 hours actually, I asked how much money would I recieve after the donation, I was told 25 dollars. 25 dollars for somewhere about 5+ hours, I did the math and walked out telling the guy at the desk if I had time to come back I would. The employee stated if I left I would have to start the process from the begining. This was the worst experiance I have had, and just to think I was making a \_donation\_.

Everyone here is really nice and inviting and they try to get you in and out as fast as possible. I'm part of the HepB plasma donation program. With each donation I receive a $75 check. For people with Anthrax vaccinations, they can get $100 each donation. Only takes about 1.5 hours unless they're busy then it may take a bit longer.
