whole blood or plasma?
I'm being approached to donate plasma regularly: every six days. The
pamphlet doesn't tell me everything I'd like to know. Such as:
# why does it take longer to donate plasma?
# is the needle going to get any bigger? why?
# why can I donate plasma every six days, rather than every 56 days for
whole blood?
# why is my blood type more desirable for plasma than the type most
desirable for whole blood?
# what do they do with plasma they can't do with whole blood?
