Kim,

I agree.   Personally, I'm delighted that they are being "cautious" with
taking blood.  I wouldn't want to receive blood that might be contaminated
with something.  The person that receives contaminated blood will then turn
around and sue because of it.  I don't think they can be "too" cautious in
this day we live in.
