Were you the TA that taught my 1st Aid class at college? Trainer for one of the sports teams?

One of the freshmen asked about "running a pint low" if people donate/store their blood.

I literally got out my books and highlighted a lot of stuff for the TA so he wouldn't be "misleading" his classes in the future on about half the course material.

Let it out before it goes bad

My pawpaw used to say we had bad blood when we'd act a fool.
