I heard Blanca making a lot of these calls while I was in the donation chair and she did manage to rope a few including one man who came in for whole blood and then he was going to come back in a week to give platelets.
She also said something about the Federal Government lessening the strictures on blood donation volume!
Guidance for Industry and FDA Review Staff: Collection of Platelets by Automated Methods This is not it but mentions some of the old standards if that is what she meant.
