You should pick something though that will not startle you in any way as you have to stay with both arms immobile.
I am often under the needle so to speak when doing whole blood for between 4 and 11 minutes. It is usually about 6 minutes though from when the needle starts drawing whole blood. 90 minutes for platelets is kind of hard after the short periods spent doing whole blood.

Yep Stopped counting at 60 gallons of regular and lost count of platelets. When you work in a blood bank for many many years your arm always had a needle in it. I cut down on my travel and do double unit ever time . I bring iPad that page can be turned with a finger, no arm movement needed.
