This was the first experience i have had with your company. I use Lifeshare. I was not sure how long it had been since my last donation, but i told the lady that it had been right at 3 mths and she said I needed to be sure it would make me sick. I had no way to contact Lifeshare so I didn't donate, I just waited for my friend to finish.The lady that was taking the blood had mentioned that you had to wait 8 wks before donating again. I could have donated but I guess since they acted like they were ready to go they didn\_t bother to tell me that until they shut down. The ladies were not friendly at all and it was a donation set up to collect blood for a friend to replace blood used. I have never had service like this before from anyone.
