So my first attempt at donating blood didn't go too well...

[BriGy86]

at school i told a friend of mine that was in the chair "don't pass out"

and the nurse snapped at me like had wished death upon his grandma or something
"don't EVER! say that to a donor"

 

[mwtgg]

I gave blood yesterday. It was awesome.

joedrake: Do you go to Bonner?

:laugh:


heh, at least you didn't jam the machine donating platelettes due to an extrodinary iron count as I used to do

that hurt

I think my body refuses to give blood. Last time I tried, my temperature was a tenth of a degree too high. *shrug* Maybe one day I'll be able to donate.

 

[Demo24]

Im somewhat afraid to give cause I get dizzy all the time, doctor said i have low blood pressure

 

[Pepsi90919]

why does everyone get off donating blood, i don't get it.

 

[Sphexi]

I donate as often as they let me, every other month or so. I'd go more often but they don't like you doing that. Never had a problem with it myself, but I'm a pretty sturdy guy so little things like needles don't bother me much.

Keep going. I had a problem a couple of times early in my donating days. I'm almost to 10 gallons now. You'll get the hang of it.

Just remember to eat and drink (non-alcoholic) before you donate. You'll be fine.

Everytime i used donate or have blood drawn out i get sweaty and pale..kind oflike when you feel right after you throw up lol.

Then after my accident and many days in the hospital where they would draw out blood 2 times a day i got used to it but i still ask for a lollypop .

hahaa...i had a similar experience when i was working at IBM. I decided to go donate blood so I went after lunch. As I was walking out to the bus they asked if I wanted to donate platelletes...she started telling me about how it is using young children who needed it, so i couldnt say no. she directed me back to the building since thats where those machines were setup. they looked at my viens and told me it wouldnt work and sent me outside.

i go to the van and they ask if i want to donate plateletes again...i told them what the people said but the lady said it was fine and she could do it in the bus. They try a few times to tap my vein and finally get it. For those unfamiliar, they take out the blood, remove the plateltes, and pump the blood back. Apparently when the machine were pumping it back, the needle shifted, and the blood starting pooling under the skin. it bubbled up about 1/2" while i was frantically calling for the nurse. She tried to cover up the wound and remove the needle, but she did a poor job. The blood literally squirted EVERYWHERE, shooting all over the nurses shoes, my shirt, the seat, and the bus window.

Thank you. I was screaming " NOOOOOOOOO " over here and the cat was looking at me like "WTF"

 

[imported_surferdude]

ny wife works at a blood center as a platlet manager.

i give whole blood when called(something about mine it only goes to peeps under the age of 3)

i love teasing the ladies during the intake questions....

use this line next time you go.....

so that wild orgy in brazil with the hookers after the backpack trip thru venazula will keep me from donating?

I'm like forever banned from donating blood. When I was younger, it was because of my tattoo's, now I've had anthrax shots, and a trip to the middle east.

i was never told anything about my tattoo.

Got in, got stuck, filled the bag in a matter of about 5 minutes...which was quicker than just about anyone else that was in there. I was in and out before 4 other people that had started before me.

...

I head to the can and while I'm at the urinal I just start getting woozy...got so bad that I banged my head against the wall. I managed to get zipped up and somehow over to the room where they registered us to donate.

This is why you you don't race your buddies to see who can give their pint the fastest
