Anyone here Donate Blood?

[Amish_kid]

i just donated blood today haha wicked buzz but on top of that you kinda help out people when you do it
so does anyone else ever do this?

I've given blood. I can't give blood as often as I'd like, though. All the traveling I do prevents it. I do it for free, no money. It doesn't take much energy out of me (other people I know just lose ALL of there energy). I filled up the bag in 5 minutes.

They dont pay you for blood, they pay you for plasma.

I do it quite often.

Thanks for the info.

Donating plasma is fucking nasty... I'm sorry, but if they take blood out of my body, they're keeping it, not putting it into a machine, spinning it around and giving me back the red blood cells... no way... too much at risk there.

Im the w3aksauce I guess. I dont like even getting a needle. They have a ton of tv ads here to get people to donate. They use slogans like:

"Blood, its in you to give"

I say

"Blood, its in you to live"

If I was supposed to drain out some of my blood, I would have a valve affixed to my body. Dont get me wrong, donating blood is a good thing, im just not up for it. They would have to sedate me to get my blood.

I can't give blood. every week I get more added on to my tattoos. I would like to give blood, but I can't.

Yep. I do it 3-4 times a year. Theres no money in Australia for doing it, but you get a half decent lunch (hot dog, mars bar, juice, water, coke, biscuits & cheese etc) and sometimes things like portable AM/FM radios. But I'd do it if I had to pay for it for the following 2 reasons:
1. Blood supplys run critically low much of the time and I'm helping someone who really needs it
2. Why do you think women live longer? Think about it

And about the energy thing, I feel ABSOLUTELY NO DIFFERENT when I get up. The nurses try to make me rest but I can jump up with no head-spin.

I don't give blood. My excuse is I just don't have time.
I know I should help out though.

cant not old enough

but i definatly would if i could.. great aunt died from lack of blood and there being none in the local blood bank for 300 miles...

I'd like to but they dont want my blood...It could be that I have something wrong with me but whatever. I really wouldnt mind donating blood as often as possible but I have been told that they do not want my blood.

I donated in college, probably two or three times. I admit that I did it because my girlfriend at the time used to donate. I would definitely do it again, but just.. haven't gotten around to it, I guess.

For the record, AK, I too got a great buzz from doing it the first time But, unfortunately, I only got it that first time.
