So my hematocrit levels are still high so its time to donate blood. But, just called my local LifeSouth Community Blood Center and they said under no circumstance can they take a blood donation from me. She said if I had a doctor's orders that I needed to have it drawn they would present it to their medical director to see if he would approve it to be drawn and discarded but it was no guarantee. I asked if there was any situation in which it could be counted as a donation and she said no.Anyone else had this issue or do you have to see a hematologist to have it drawn out for "medical" purposes of high hematocrit levels.
