We have been spoiled living in the Washington DC area. Even so, I don't think anyone really wants to do HLA matching for platelets. It's out of the norm and more work is involved. And heaven forbid you request "fresh" blood products because they'll last longer. They look at you like you have a third eye.
We often think of where we'd like live when we retire and now one of the criteria is to be close to a major medical center!!!!!
