can a high volume of blood loss stunt growth?

How much blood do hospitals take from you for admission(volume)? can a high volume of blood loss stunt growth?
I remember it being like
2 sets of 4 cylindrical containers each time

I was admitted like 6 or 7 times in a span of a year because my parents are so f-ing stupid, they thought i was out of control because of some mental illness so they took me to inpatient mental units of hospitals

this happened when I was 12-13, right before or at the onset of puberty

do you think losing that much blood(4 or 8 cylinders at a time, 6 or 7 times over a year) can stunt my growth

or cause me to be anemic?

so ur telling me i lost less blood in 1 year of 6 admissions to a hospital

than a guy who donated blood to some kinda blood drive ONCE?

and when i said 6 or 7 times over 9 months, sometimes it was

admission on friday, discharge on monday, then readmission on the next friday cus my parents took me again cus i fought with them

I assume you mean the little containers that look like a small test tube?

Those are called vacutainers. They hold from about 3-10 ml. Even two sets would only be about 80ml max (usually about 1/2 that but it depends on what they're testing for).

Will that hurt you? It depends on the size of the patient but remember this - the first rule of medicine is do no harm. No doctor or nurse would deliberately draw enough blood to endanger you.

The guy/girl at the blood donation site is giving about a pint. 473ml or almost 6 times what you gave.

Sorry, but no, it won't stunt your growth.

Maybe you should stop being so angry with your parents.
