The washrooms there are like those in hospitals. They have emergency cords in case you have difficulty, so it was all good.

yea they take it donating blood quite seriously, and are always trying to make sure you're fine afterwards.
i like bugging the volunteers afterwards, as they're usually quite young and get embarassed easily and aren't quick enough for my witless comments.
Sensations you're over 110 lbs right? lol isnt' there also a stipulation on age as well?
