They had a blood drive at my work and I hadn't eaten that morning, so I just watched people. They told me not to donate that time because of the combination of me being EXTREMELY NERVOUS (that I would run out of blood and die, I know it's stupid but I'm a chicken), and me not having eaten, and being fairly light, they figured I'd probably pass out. But I watched for the first time, and it wasn't nearly as sterile as I'd thought. I was also afraid the Red Cross trailer would smell like a hospital, but it didn't. So I felt way better about it and I'm definitely going to eat so I can donate next time.

Remember the 'Mad Cow Disease' scare in Britain a few years ago?I have been giving blood regularly for years,but oneday when I turned up at the hospital for my regular session,they advised me that I was no longer required.Why?because I had been in England around the time,and there is a remote risk that the disease can be passed to humans who consumed beef before the outbreak was detected.So...I am no longer a blood donor[except to the tax department].
