Someone passed out donating blood today.

I didn't notice right away. Someone yelled - I don't know what, asking for help, I think - and I looked up to see this young lady lying like a corpse, muscles slack, head lolling, and the Red Cross employee crouched next to her, doing something with (disconnecting?) the donation apparatus. I was plugged into an apheresis machine, I had to squelch the impulse to go and help - all I could do was sit as a half-dozen workers hurried over.

(She was okay, but that was scary.)

That happened to me the first (and only) time I donated blood. Fainting feels like falling off of the world.
