Not as bad as it looks

They do blood drives at our church on a routine basis. I usually donate double red cells. The process is called apheresis. The blood is taken into a machine that seperates the blood into it's components. The red blood cells are collected into a bag and the rest is returned to your arm. It takes a little over an hour to complete the process. The red cells are beneficial for trauma victims.
