I'm in and out in an hour or less, which is great because other centers have taken double that time. (And I'm the lowest weight group so I donate the least ml so double that time is quite ridiculous.) I've never had a bad experience here with the donation process or the staff. They do their best to make small talk with you and I have never felt judged or looked down on for donating. As long as you keep your health top notch they won't defer you. I truly enjoy this place and am saddened that I'm going to have to leave it in the fall when I move, because I know the donation center where I'm going doesn't come close to this one. You guys have got me spoiled!

I was called today on Mother's Day to inform me that I can no longer donate. Was I upset? Absolutely. What do you mean your employee Joanna thought my sunburn was a factor when it comes to donating. The nurse is new people are waiting LONG wait times and thought they could do that to me. I stood my ground because I would have waited those long wait times just to be told I can't donate! Diabolical.

The staff is always really nice and explains everything during the process. Every donation has went over well except this last one. I'm not sure if I had a new person working on my blood withdrawal but it was painful and I bruised really bad. It does come with the territory of donating so I understand it happens from time to time. I've had more great experiences than bad.

However, I happened to be in the Denton area and decided to schedule a platelet donation with the Denton center. I have never felt so intentionally ignored throughout the entire 2 hour donation process. Not once did a staff member check on me while I was donating. I was very uncomfortable and could not get one of the 4-5 employee's attention for assistance. Each time an employee walked by me they turned their back. No request to schedule next appointment, no direction to wait in the canteen area for 10 minutes and no good bye or thank you. Unbelievably bad experience all round. I will continue to donate through Carter Bloodcare but I will never return to the Denton donation center.

His professional opinion was to hang from a bar like a monkey to stretch out my spine and take a hot shower. He gave me one pain pill and a prescription. When I asked if we could do an X-ray or MRI, he said no because "nothing is broken." Fast forward One weeks to a real doctor, and they found two masses--one on my spine and another on my kidney. I would have expected better treatment, especially since no one else was in the ER. Within 15 minutes, I was in and out, but they made sure to get payment before I could even step out of the ER. I've called the hospital several times to discuss the bill and my treatment, but no one will return my calls. I even contacted the Patient Advocate Department, and still, no response. The medical profession needs to do better. Listen to your patients. Don't just collect the co-pay and push them out the door. Filling a patient full of pain meds is not medical treatment! I also found the doctor on Facebook and sent him a message. He didn't show any compassion or even say sorry--just gave a thumbs up. So unprofessional! See Photo)

This is a copy of my formal complaint. I am writing to…read moreformally report multiple serious incidents at your center involving unsafe medical procedures, inaccurate documentation, and unprofessional behavior from several staff members. Several months ago, during my donation, the needle was not inserted correctly. It was partially hanging out of my arm and causing bleeding and significant pain. I told the technician that I was in pain, and I showed them the blood that had just begun to pool and drip from the insertion site. I was told this was "normal," even though the needle was visibly not positioned correctly. This dismissal of my pain and the visible bleeding was entirely inappropriate and unsafe. I have attached a photo from that donation which clearly shows the needle improperly inserted and blood leaking from the site. I had been feeling completely fine until this occurred. Instead of acknowledging the improper needle placement, I was told that the reaction happened because I "didn't eat or drink enough," which was not true. After removing me from the machine, I was given something to eat and drink, told to sit for 15 minutes, and then instructed to leave. I followed every direction I was given. Later, I learned that this donation was coded as "the donor wasn't feeling well," which is inaccurate and misleading. I was not "feeling unwell" -- I was reacting to a procedural error. I want to know what potential medical complications I was exposed to due to a needle being improperly inserted and partially hanging out of my arm. Based on standard plasma donation safety guidelines, I could have suffered: Hematoma / internal bleeding Infiltration or extravasation (blood or return fluids entering tissue) Nerve irritation or nerve injury Tissue damage Infection at the insertion site Arterial nicking, depending on angle and position A vasovagal reaction triggered by pain and blood loss These are real medical risks, and none of them were acknowledged or addressed by your staff. During my most recent visit, my fingerprint would not register. A technician tried multiple machines before checking the system. She found an error message stating that I had "left without being released" during that previous donation -- which is completely false. I was released by the nurse after being told to eat, drink, and wait. Your staff gave me permission to leave. When I asked why my fingerprint was missing and why inaccurate notes were in the system, the nurse became combative and dismissive. She argued with me, insisted nothing was wrong, and went so far as to call me a liar. This is unacceptable behavior, especially given the safety issues that occurred. At the front desk, I was met with more hostility. The staff member spoke to me in a confrontational tone that felt aggressive and unprofessional. Had a supervisor not walked over at that moment, the situation could have escalated. Additionally, when you ask staff for their names -- including supervisors -- they claim they do not have to provide them. This lack of transparency is inappropriate in a medical setting where accountability is essential. Because of all of this, I am requesting: A full investigation into the improper needle insertion and the staff's refusal to take my report of pain and bleeding seriously. A formal explanation of the medical risks associated with the needle being inserted incorrectly and partially hanging out of my arm. A correction of the inaccurate system record stating I left without being released, and the inaccurate coding of the incident as "donor didn't feel well." A review of the conduct of the nurse, the technician, and the front desk staff. Clarification of BioLife's policy on staff identifying themselves when a donor asks for their name. Assurance that appropriate retraining and corrective action will be taken. I take donation seriously and have always done my part to follow procedures. What I experienced instead was unsafe medical practice, inaccurate reporting, and openly hostile treatment. I expect a timely and thorough response regarding what steps will be taken to address these issues.
