I'm so glad people donate cuz I get ivig and it helps thank you all
Been donating on and off for years now. I remember long before kiosks were available and you had to lay off dairy before donation because the technology was still limited if your plasma was cloudy. The process has come a long way.
Beyond the monetary help, I've come to enjoy the sense of structure donating gives me. It reminds me to stay hydrated and keep exercise and what I eat in mind through the week. Because if I'm not healthy enough to donate, that's a red flag that I need to take better care of myself before helping others.
Good observation.👍
Can’t wait to come back !!! Thanks plasma center !!!!!!!!
I've need doing this for over 2 years at CSL plasma with no issues
Love the experience at Grifols. You need to check it out, you won't be disappointed.
This is a very good place to donate I come every week I do not miss a beat

Adios Grifols fue un placer
Donations saves lives
I have never done it but i want too
Boss how to reach this industry
The Monetary Appreciated donations count for all!
How much are these recipients charged for the plasma transfusion/therapy from those donated plasma?
Plasma is generally used to create pharmaceuticals, or used for research and development purpose not transferred to another person.
@@dontdoxmebro But they are sometimes transfered to patients for an expamle diagnosed with gbs. There are treatments like cleaning plasma, changing blood and some other donor required ones.
When I received it while I had GBS, it was $8,000/dose, and I had 5 doses. And that was in 2013
@@kimsawyer1775wow....I wonder how many donations are in a dose? I wish there was no middle man 😢
@@laurieb3703thousands of donations. One patient needs about 1900 donations per year.
I had Guillian-Barre 10 years ago, why am I permanently deferred from donating plasma with Grifols? It was integral in my recovery and I want to help others.
I recommend u as them questions, it's their fault that they didn't explain to you the reason but it's also your responsibility to ask questions if you don't than your out of luck, no one is gonna seek knowledge for you, other than your self
*Me roasting you*: maybe you should ask your husband to help you but since u already posted this comment he's probably a beta that this world is creating nowadays
@Kim Sawyer , in case you haven't found your answer yet, here's how I would explain this to my patients or potential blood donors.
Guillain-Barre is technically an autoimmune disorder, in which your own immune system attacks and damages your peripheral nerves. The symptoms are a consequence of that. Because the autoantibodies are present in the blood, transfusing patients with blood or blood components from individuals with autoimmune disorders can lead to those antibodies attacking the patients' tissues/organs. So people with such disorders are deferred from donating, usually permanently, because for most disorders the autoantibodies remain in the blood for life. Sometimes the autoantibodies are present in the blood for a limited time, but because of the issue I explained, combined with the fact that the pathogenesis of autoimmune disorders is not very well understood, it is still considered too much of a risk to take.
I can't speak specifically to your case, but generally in treating Guillain-Barre a different type of plasmapheresis is performed. It is called "therapeutic plasma exchange" where the patient is hooked up to the apheresis machine and plasma (along with the autoantibodies) is extracted from them, then disposed of, so there is fewer of the autoantibodies remaining in the patient's blood to attack their body.
What is the difference between plasma donation and plasmapheresis?
plasmapheresis is the "official" name for the plasma donation process
I just want to know what's with the saline that's return back into your body
At my center, they give you 2 different liquids throughout the donation. One is an anticoagulant to help prevent your blood from clotting when being returned, and the other one is saline to help replace the fluids you donated.
My friend called about requirements to give plasma and they said you can't have acne the problem with that is a long time ago he had Acme and gave plasma so is this and it illegal discrimination under this particular one are they generally not supposed to have acne or is this a way to shame people who have it
I don't believe that your story is entirely accurate. Never heard of anyone being rejected for having acne. But they are deferred if they have used a certain prescription acne medication.
Donating plasma is NOT a right. They can deny you for ANY REASON at all and you can't cry discrimination against their decision. Period. They have a certain standard of donor that , if you don't meet, they turn you away.
They would deny you if you had an abcess, acne is small abcesses. Bacteria in blood =contamination.
Times change, so do rules. But honestly I don't see this as discrimination. How could it be? You said he called right? They didn't see his face. So they don't know who has acne. I'm pretty sure that wasn't the only requirement. 🤔 So was the rest of the requirements discriminating too? I'm sorry but maybe your friend lied to you or yall both just took that to heart bc he do have acne??? Listen, just tell him to detox and keep his face clean and dry, go in there and donate. That'll showtime who's boss....right
I've got pimples on my ass but I'm not going to tell them that.
I really donate plasma doe
My friend wanted to give plasma and they said you can't have acne
That's good, the less chances of blood infection, the better.
Yeah it's because it's considered open wounds. I just told another commenter that when my dad was going to Korea, he had to take accutane before the military would let him go because of that. It seems weird but it's an actual thing
How wonder what taking the blood for?
I bet you do.
Upon my first visit to this clinic, I fell victim of theft. My Electric Scooter was stolen from the bike rack located in the clinics parking lot, even though I had it chained up. Upon coming to this realization I hurried back inside to be met by a nurse who was apathetic but didn't take down details for a proper incident report and I never even got to speak with a manager before being asked to leave out the side. I'm infuriated and working with the owner of said scooter to file a police report and contact our legal counsel.
i have a ton of plasma coming from my scraped knees
Oh yuck..is that what plasma is??.
What do you do for a living?🤔
every four months they have to take a sample to send off for testing. some staff members are throwing samples away to change the demographics of the doners they accept. so after four months your done no mater what.
That's wrong azzhole. Maybe eat healthier and your plasma won't be shit?

HELLO
ruclips.net/video/zMOCWm3tZ5I/видео.html
Bro they called me the other day that if i go in today, i would get an additional $20, i went in and did the whole process, when i went home and checked my balance, i had $50 smh ,i called and asked, and they said that you get $30 bucks per session now😂 I don’t like needles, and they take 800ml bottle of plasma of MY body for $30!!!! Hell naw, f grifols
For the money.
The Arlington Texas Grifols on Park Row, their new system is terrible and takes LONGER. $50 for your time is NOT worth the LONG wait! And using the touch screen to sign in takes too long as well and the fingerprint scanner rarely works the first time to answer the question when you come in. Furthering your wait time. Equipment update is much needed.
And now with the new system, they assign you a number you must use instead of your last four of your Social Security number you already have memorized. Not to mention half the workers in the place seem tried MISERABLE to be working there. And they complain about not getting a break.
Less wait and more money would possibly be worth donating plasma. Also, note that their facility looks run down inside and out and somewhat unclean. As well their blood plasma equipment seems to look old.
I hear Bio-Life down the road in Arlington, is newer, nicer, and cleaner. Maybe the wait is not as long and compensation/pay better.
My friend in Mansfield Texas called about requirements and they said you can't have acne the only problem with that is a few years ago he went and acne everywhere so I'm guessing that this isn't really a rule and they're just shaming people who have acne why would I want to go donate to people who sang people makes no sense plus it's not exactly healthy anyways to give plasma they're slowly figuring out giving too much plasma can be dangerous even if it is two times a week for a year
@@higurashianduminekoconnect1702 it's certain acne medications that can disqualify you from donating. Not the acne itself.
Then go there!!!
@@melissaohlrich2418 thank you!
Do what s best for you.
Yea it’s suppose to be saving lives yet they treat you like shit and employees have the worst attitudes. It’s like duhh we don’t want to spend the whole day donating and they act like the money we get is coming outta there own pocket they want you to get the least amount possible. They don’t even have real medically trained nurses at the center which definitely shows cuz there attitudes reflects it, it’s just another job to them
40$ I’m not making them m/f rich for that
The amount changes often.. For example my center had a $140, $150, $75 on last month. And twice in 7 days means about 14 donations a month so $75× 14 is almost my rent
Yeah but think about the people you're helping. That's ultimately the best reason to do it ❤
that shit hurts so bad don’t do it.
Why they all in the hood 🤣
Because people that have money don't need money.
The system you use is bull 💩 I’m a Employee at a motel I’m not only work there but I lived there I went today to donate plasma for the first time and they said I cannot donate because of where I live at that’s bullshit
I go for the money I don’t care about nothin else
Hpw much
I rather make money in a healthier way I rather donate in a healthier way they're slowly figuring out giving plasma is it healthy for the person giving it
@@higurashianduminekoconnect1702 never heard of anyone dying from it.
Preach😂 I work at a Plasma donation center as a phlebotomist, and I never shame a donor that only comes in just for the money lol
It's true it's a business that's effective and efficient it's nice to see someone benefiting from donating a very easily replaceable product
I also love how this is the most liked comment 💀
Ripp!!!! offf!!!!
Yes they are we get 25&60 dollars an they make millions off of us they have workers that are so rude an messy in Birmingham
@@patriciasmith49 yep i work and live in Birmingham... Very true im not but this statement is true as hell
@@patriciasmith49 you buy a t-bone steak at the local supermarket for $13 lb. The market buys the meat for less than $1 lb. They're making $millions$ doing that. So what's the difference? Every company is in business to earn a profit. Hardly worth getting indignant about. That's how our system works.
I go to KED Plasma in Decatur Alabama. They are amazing!!!
@@richardweiler3966Plus you're not helping save lives buying regular stuff that makes others rich.
