Anyway, they hinted, but didn't outright tell me, to stop coming as my veins are small and my blood drains very slowly.

On a side note, a few years ago they announced that it was too much work to come to Grande Prairie to collect blood and so they were going to stick to places closer to Edmonton for their drives.
