 As a lot of you know, I have been on sabbatical from my podcast and social media availability because I'm  currently writing a book about NMSU Men's Basketball and a couple other things. Plasma donations are part of my supplemental income, and I have become a huge advocate for the process since I started donating 20 years ago. Recently, changes in center policy have caused the equipment to screen individuals of their vitals before they donate to be switched out. A $1000 BP monitor/Temp Checker was replaced by a shoddy $70 available on Amazon to everyone BP monitor with 1 star reviews as far as the eye can see. My arms are 19 inches wide. The cuff is rated for 16.9".

The machine they are using takes batteries. They use rechargeable batteries which are not powerful enough to use consistently on the equipment and are also not recommended by the company who makes the machine.  Yet, I am getting deferred based on all these factors, causing a huge dent in my income. As someone who fights for the little guy usually, this seems like something so easy to discuss, but as of right now, it has become a point of contention in my life. 

I have dedicated almost 11,000 words to it on my substack.
I created a website for the content: 800-ml.com  which is the amount of plasma that is taken out of me with every donation. 

Listen to me work through my frustration and try to find common ground to dispute this issue with. I am so frustrated. Back with a bank themed pod this week!

Crazy week. Thanks for following!
