Blood Donors

derekabraham · 10-01-2009, 12:52 PM

I usually do plasma/platelets so I'm eligible every two weeks.

derekabraham · 10-01-2009, 11:34 PM

Bump.

Donating blood is important.

I played hockey for 10 years. I even donated other people's blood for them. What can I say, I'm a nice guy? I even left it on the ice so it'd stay good!

traveling is a big issue with donating blood. people who have recent tattoos and are exposed to certain drugs can't donate also. and if your under 110 pounds! can you say anorexic?

or they just might be smaller in physique.

I "gave" blood once...didn't even fill up a quarter of the bag!

For some reason, I don't bleed, even after several minutes of the lady poking and prodding my arm (needles don't bother me, and I'm type O, so I should have been a great candidate). The guy had to poke 3 holes into my finger, because the first 2 didn't give enough blood.

Who knows, maybe my body is greedy. Or awesome. At least I don't have to worry about dying of blood loss ^_^.

Got a tattoo recently, so don't think I can donate... Maybe a couple personal things to I am curious about might prevent me from donating

Hoyal · 10-13-2009, 01:18 AM

I lived in Germany between certain years on a military base something about a mad cow outbreak lol.

akwagon · 10-13-2009, 01:21 AM

I had a friend that lived in a couple years in England growing up. She is on the black list from donating blood for life because of living over there (mad cow). Funny thing is she is a Nurse.

i love donating for many reasons. 1) you get to replenish your old blood with newer, healthier blood 2)free snack and drink 3)free tshirt or w.e they have for you 4) save lives

JDCPA · 10-13-2009, 02:33 PM

I am an O positive donor on the 56 day cycle. They always call to remind me its time.

1337Taco · 10-13-2009, 02:36 PM

I've donated blood twice and have passed out twice. My body is weird. I don't get queasy (?) when I see blood it is just very weird. A little loss of blood for me and I black out.

09tacoLI · 10-13-2009, 03:01 PM

I get 2 days off a year to give blood so thats one reason I give. I think if people got a day off to give blood more people would give blood.

Lexus Truck · 10-26-2009, 09:35 AM

I've donated before. I hesitated to do so cause i heard you can't donate if you have tattoos, but the lady said it be fine

MAXTacoma · 10-26-2009, 09:40 AM

I've donated before, but I choose not to, I get lite headed and pass out... then wake up on the floor... its pretty embaressing!
