That was back in the day when it had to be extracted from inside the thigh bone. When I donated 10 years ago, it was a few injections upfront to increase your natural stem cell count in the blood, followed by a 4 hr at a clinic to extract them using a dialysis machine. The narrative about bone marrow being painful needs to die. It might be de motivating potential donors.
