Must never buy them whole. I mean, isn’t that why there are 4 drumsticks in a package?
Yes, exactly. To add to this, from an ncbi publication for those interested:
[h=2]PREPARATION OF PRP[/h]
PRP is obtained from a sample of patients’ blood drawn at the time of treatment. A 30 cc venous blood draw will yield 3-5 cc of PRP depending on the baseline platelet count of an individual, the device used, and the technique employed. The blood draw occurs with the addition of an anticoagulant, such as citrate dextrose A to prevent platelet activation prior to its use. The authors employ a specialized ‘table top cold centrifuge’ device. Preparation-related costs are significantly lower than with commercial kits.
My Father once convinced his coworker that she was supposed to have the air in her tires changed out on a regulator schedule. Otherwise, it would get stale.
Don’t feel bad, OP. Some people are tricksters and some of us are the trickees.
I think it’s sweet and funny that you believed her for so long 
and trusting (for better or worse lol) COTH to sort it out.
