Flashback Memory Friday: Renegade rookies

I was thinking about my experiences donating blood. I've been doing it since I was 19. Whatever talked me into it.

One time I went in and there was some rookie nurse who took the needle out, but didn't apply enough pressure so blood started pouring out of my arm, onto my chair, and onto the floor. She freaked out, *walked away*, and called for help. Not good. I put pressure on it and waited as some older lady hurried over.

What the eff?

As an aside, this is my only bad donor experience. And I've donated many times since.

and they fussed over you and tried to make you lie down. :D I can't remember if they actually got you to lie down or not though. It was pretty funny.
