Platelets

I went to give platelets a week ago because club teams have to donate. So after I found my way to the hospital (I don't go to south campus very often so I was kind of lost) I went to the information desk and asked where the platelet center was... they sent me to the complete wrong end of UNC's very large hospital. Anyway, after spending thirty minutes trying to find the place I answered all of the questions, had my finger pricked, and sat down in the chair. After about 10 minutes of sqeezing a stress ball the nurse still could not find a vein to stick. She would not even try although I told her it wouldn't bother me. What would they do if I needed an IV? So I walked back up to Granville after wasting more than an hour. At least the team still gets credit because I tried.
