whats the frequency that you can do it and get paid? also what are some of the restrictions for doing it?

30-40 sounds so tempting for 45 minutes of someone taking blood. being broke is fun!

I did it a half-dozen times, back in college.

I stopped once a 'nurse' tapped my vein with a lead that didn't have a clamp on, and walked away. I bled into a 3-foot wide puddle on the floor, beneath my chair.

Person A sticks you
Person B comes over to hook you up to the machine

never again.

Now it's an all in one with lots of disposable tubing. No waiting for someone else to come hook you up. Back when my work schedule was more flexible, I could do it 2 or 3 times a week. Now, they only day I could go would be Saturday, and they're only open half a day, and it's their busiest day. So I don't bother anymore. Instead I donate whole blood every 8 weeks. I don't get "paid" for it, as such, but they do send me restaurant gift certificates, and sometimes I get a t-shirt! LOL

due to me being in a foreign nation during a certain time frame I am a threat for carrying mad cow disease... I think my quarantine is ending soon though.

how fast is it from soup to nuts to donate plasma?

I cant give blood any more and that sucks. In the US, they dont want my blood because i lived in the UK during the 80's and thus might have been exposed to CJD, in the UK they just dont want my blood. Something to do with lithium or something...
