I would highly recommend you avoid donating plasma at Biolife of Tukwilla. They are butchers. I've attached pics of what they've done to my wife's arms. This isn't just a once in a while issue. Probably 75% of the times we donated, we ended up with ugly marks, bruises or hematomas. One of their phlebotomists, Noah is extremely bad. The damage shown in the pics done to my wife was caused by him. It wasn't the first time he had done this to her, but it was the last. She refuses to ever donate again because of it.
I've had issues of him doing the same to me, in fact, today was my last visit. Multiple times Noah has stabbed the needle into my vein and then through the other side, leaving me with swollen areas around the site. Today, my arm wasn't flowing correctly, so he started pushing the needle in at a really weird angle, again causing damage to my vein. He took so long messing around that my blood coagulated and couldn't be returned. Again, I was left with a very swollen and sore arm and unable to donate for 2 months. I'm now at the 1 week mark and my arm is still bruised and sore. I'm beginning to be concerned about permanant vein damage and with all the trauma to my veins, what will happen to my circulation as I age with all the resulting scar tissue? For about $500 a month, is it really worth destroying your veins? Today, I decided it was not.
