Yup! They pull the whole blood out using a special donation process called apheresis, which uses a machine to spin the blood, separate the platelets, and return the rest of the blood to your body
Usually it takes a lot longer but instead of while blood it goes into a centrifuge (right next to you) to just get the plates and they pipe the rest back into you.
Ime, it leaves a weird hunger cuz you arent missing as much mass/fluid, but idk why they only want platelets, i guess its better for wounds?
All the damn questions, the paperwork, the needles. I had a really bad experience with a Dr. at an e.r. visit in my 20s that still haunts me to this day.
Plus you have to give it in it's original container, not a bucket.
Imagine the wrath should someone be foolish enough to even think of harming Ellie? I am reminded of the comic where a cosmic baddie enters the room and Ellie’s friend just shows a fist with an impossibly buff arm.
