There are good and bad technicians. I find that the person drawing blood makes more of a difference than the organization involved. The lady who drew my blood on Thursday was so good, but the one before that had to keep shifting the needle around. ::ack::
Just so you know, Blood Services for the Red Cross is divided into regions, and the donated blood primarily stays local. If there's a critical need in other areas, or (heaven forbid) a surplus, then blood is shared with other areas.
