Why can't you donate blood at a doctor's office? I mean , they're already poking you for other stuff.

Question

I would donate blood but I'm not going to go looking for a clinic, or take a detour to go and donate when that's the last thing on my mind, but since I'm already at the doctor's twice a year, and I wouldn't mind if they asked me first, why not then? Doesn't that make sense?

Answer 1

There isn't the proper equipment at the doctor's office to store blood. There is at the hospital. You call them blood banks.
