About this product
Product Information
We Took the Elevator Up to the fifth floor, moving through the deserted hallways. My teammate Kevin and I were directed into one room facing the parking lot; Lance got his own room next door. Lie on the bed, roll up your sleeve, give me your arm. Relax. Dr. del Moral set an empty transfusion bag on a white towel on the floor next to the bed, and wiped the inside of my elbow with an alcohol swab. Then the needle. I'd seen a lot of needles, but this one was huge-about the size of a coffee stirrer. It was attached to a syringe that was in turn attached to clear tubing that led to the waiting bag, with a small white thumbwheel to control flow. I looked away; felt the needle go in. When I looked again, my blood was pumping steadily into the bag on the floor. I looked over to see Kevin hooked up in the same way. Filling the bags took about fifteen or twenty minutes. The bags plumped up until the scale showed we were done: one pint, 500 milliliters. Then, unhook: needle out. Cotton ball, pressure. Bags taped closed, labeled, and tucked into the blue cooler. Del Moral and Pepe headed out; they didn't say where, but we guessed it was to the clinic in Valencia and the refrigerator there, where the bags would be stored until we needed them three weeks later at the Tour.
