blood letting/ donating blood supplies?

[Manski]

Ok, so I'm done with Red Cross. They are the most unprofessional, unorganized group I have ever had to deal with. My question is this. Is there a place available that I can buy my own supplies to take out a pint every two months. I have someone with the know how, I just need the supplies. Thanks in advance.

Yes you can buy a phlebotomy kit, but when you order you need to submit an RN license number. Does your friend have a license

No she does not. Damn. I really don't want to go back to Red Cross. It's obvious everybody there hates their job and not happy to be there. At least today it was like that.

That's pretty close, only I use a 16 gauge x 1" , no turkey baster either

I love the gals at mine. Maybe you should go to a different location? I'm open to doing some pretty dumb things, but self-phlebotomy isn't one of them. (I have taken courses on how to do it too)

T just About right, not sure why the tie off thing. I just drain out into a quart jar half way up

Do you know that NAC lowers HCT?

 

[halfwit]

No it doesn't. Don't spread misinformation please.

 

[Xwant]

I am just asking. Why are you angry? I didn't say NAC lowers.

Perhaps you should have written, " Do you know if NAC lower HCT?"

Word choice can make a big difference.

 

[Xwant]

Yeah, sorry.

 

[cbburrr]

Yeah, sorry.

What is NAC?

looks like a guy can buy butterfly syringes pretty easy, just like getting a 3cc. I googled it, lots of sellers

What is NAC?

N-aceytl cysteine. One of its uses is to help your liver.

But would it drain at a decent rate especially with the thicker blood with high hct ? Seems to me I'd need some kind of bac or suction.

I'm going to do some more intense searching in the next day or two when I have more time. I'm going to look into this. Thanks
