The most fucked up thing, is the “donation centers” are 100% running a cost/benefit analysis.
They’re trying to zero in on getting just enough blood with the bare minimum expense.
They can afford to have better staff and facilities, and they don’t need to rely on crazy phone calls.
But then they don’t make as much off what people are giving away.
Its bad enough we legitimately can’t trust them when they say there’s an emergency. Maybe hospitals are running low, maybe they just want a little more money this quarter.
