I just donated blood yesterday, and although I was pretty fast, I’m probably nowhere near these “professionals”

They should be on the treadmill, to get their heart rates up.

I’m sure one of them could “cheat” by encouraging thestaf to use a bigger diameter needle.

Should be “faster” not “fastest.”

make sure you drink nothing but water for 2 to 3 days before donating, soda, and other drinks actually make you slower. I only drink water and donate in about 3 mins…but when I do decide on a soda it doubles that time or more.

If you’re looking for speed, don’t try Pheresis. A double unit of platelets takes about 90 minutes.

Simple solution to this ref. Occam’s razor, Have someone whack off your head and stick a bucket under the neck. The simplest solution is the best solution.
