Today I went to donate blood plasma, which is used in making several medicines and in some kinds of research. It's so paperwork intensive! You would think that, if I'm healthy enough to donate an organ, plasma would be no big deal. But there are a million forms to fill out, including notes from my nephrologist and the lab where I have my blood drawn, just to let them stick a needle in my arm.
But someone, somewhere, is glad I filled out the papers and donated the liquid part of my blood.
