I volunteered to donate blood and this one appointment has resulted in 2 follow-up emails and 3 phone calls. A lot of harassment as far as I am concerned for someone who is doing a good deed. They must be way overstaffed!
No, i do not see them as overstaffed; the need is just continually that great, hence the calls to get help. As a nurse, I see we use a lot of blood, as many people are more medically complex in the hospital settings, than in past years. I hope you will consider to continue being a donor in spite of the calls, you probably are a less often encountered blood type- therefore in greater need than average. Also, if inconvenient, just tell them not to call, or to call in another month or two if you are too busy.
I keep getting called from this Nebraska late at night with no answer or message. If this really is the blood center then they just lost another donor. I am getting sick of getting these phone calls. Every other day and around 9pm even on weekends! I fought this is the center or they must have been hacked.
