Platelets

[ellid]

I'll be doing my first platelet donation at Baystate Medical Center on St. Patrick's Day at 6:00 pm. The donation coordinator at Baystate told me that CMV negative platelets are "like gold" because they're the only ones that can be used for infants and people with compromised immune systems, like patients with cancer and AIDS. Given this, I'm going to see about setting up a schedule for every two or three weeks in the evening because, y'know, it's just the right thing to do.
