How many times have you donated blood?

[pyonir]

I dunno. I've donated more plasma than blood though.

 

[Q]

One of my teachers in my high school just donated his 81'st time.

 

[SmoochyTX]

Somewhere between 10 to 15 times

 

[Walzber813]

I donated for the first time about one month ago at college, It's definetely something I'll try to do more often.

YOU SUCK!
YOUR MOTHERS A WHORE!
YOUR DAD CHOKES ON COMMUNIST COCK!
GUNS ARE FOR LITTLE-DICKED BITCHES?
YOUR SISTER VOTES DEMOCRAT!


There yet?

I tried once - long story but I almost fainted. Maybe I'll make another thread on it so you can see how bad needles bother me.

 

[alanalafriz]

That last one was pretty harsh, man. :frown:



Won't do much ... I'm generally moving around with my engine at the human equivalent of idle speed. The mental image of someone standing there screaming insults at me just to keep my vitals high enough to give blood is hilarious though. :laugh:

3 or 4. Work has the Red Cross come semi-annually and I go to give blood but stay for the free cookies!

 

[NanoStuff]

It's sacrilege spilling your own blood. Don't interfere with god's will.

Fixed for me, if I could I would.

 

[j00fek]

never - i keep getting tats within the 2 yr span

 

[JustAnAverageGuy]

three regulars and one double red.

I nearly passed out on the double red, so I just do regular now.

[ForumMaster]

never yet. too young. but here it's a law to donate while you're in the army so i will donate in the future and probably after that as well. my grandpa (now 71) is still in the IDF and has donated blood. he had to get a doctor to sign lots of paperwork as well. he's really fit though.

It seems like people either donate once and hate it or donate and decide it's awesome so they do it like once a week. I've personally done it a few times, whenever the blood supply at the hospital here runs low. I've also been turned away because of new tattoos.

 

[broon]

I do regularly. I have good flow...only takes about three minutes to give a pint.

 

[SirChadwick]

I've donated once, passed out and was sick for two days.

I would like to donate more often, but I don't want to go through that experience again...

I know I know, it can save a life.

 

[dawnbug]

I've donated more than 5 times, I'm sure. I almost passed out the last time, and I'm not too anxious to go back. Heh. They did send me a nice card saying thanks for not quitting when everything went all fuzzy around the halfway point.

 

[theprodigalrebel]

I would pass out, pretty damn sure. I feel woozy just looking at a doctor extracting blood through a syringe.

 

[jonessoda]

Once, a couple months ago, so I'm due again.

LOL... You can't do it onece a week.

 

[Feldenak]

Never.

 

[monk3y]

More than 5 times here. I started in high school just so I could skip class and get some free food. Now I do it regularly just for the fun of it.

I actually passed out the first time I ever gave blood.

 

[Midlander]

I have my 10-gallon pin.
