Chapters

Doctors now can harness the platelets from your blood to be delivered to an area that needs healing. Now, platelets is already in your blood, but platelet rich plasma is when doctors get about a glass of wine, about 60cc, which is about 3 ounces. Don't worry, you have a lot of blood in your body. You have 5 liters or 5,000 milliliters of blood. And just taking 60 millimeter is a very small percentage of volume. You wouldn't even notice it because when you go donate blood, you donate about 250 milliliter or 500 milliliter, which is a lot more, so it's totally safe.
