Interesting that fanfiction.net didn't have something like kudos.
The thing with platelets is you have to keep squeezing at regular intervals and when you're squeezing the same arm for literally 2 hours, it leaves my arm feeling very stiff. I do think I squeeze more often than I absolutely have to, but like... I'm usually watching a movie, I'm not going to pay attention to the clock and squeeze every 30 seconds or whatever. I'm just randomly squeezing. It would probably do my arm some good to, like, pay attention.
Yep, only once! Maybe possible I got a second summons but ended up not having to go? But I went one time, sat around in this big room all day, got called into an actual case, there were maybe 15 of us? They explained the case and asked if we personally knew any of the people involved, had any kind of relationship with the hospital, etc. It was just after my granny died and I was annoyed at the hospital because I thought they had done a crappy job taking care of her when she was there, but they didn't consider that enough reason to leave me out of the pool. However, it turned out they already had 11 jurors and only needed one more, so someone else got picked and we got sent back to the room. Cool that they allow electronics now! I remember getting puzzle books and some library books and stuff like that so I would have enough to keep myself occupied.
