pompey_spud Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Well for starters, i have absolutely no idea where to get it done. Also, i wouldn't make a special appointment or travel for an hour to get into York/Hull just to get it done either. Basically, i can't be arsed, and the whole impracticality of the whole affair puts me off it too. But i do like getting injections, they make me feel hard :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete_the_Viscous Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Yes, though living away from home has stopped me doing so for a while (too apathetic to look for local centres). It's never done me any harm -- or hurt, for that matter. Once, when completing the form to check whether I'm eligible to donate, I got a bit previous, and just ticked "no" on all the answers, knowing that nothing had changed since the last time I gave. ...however, I didn't realize that one of the questions started "to be filled in by women donors only". I got a bit of a funny look from the guy who checked over the form, and he had to get someone to come and write something on it, then I had to initial it and date it. That was rather embarrassing. Other than that, though, I've had no negative experiences giving blood. In fact, it's great: they're all really kind when I go, and they almost FORCE me to eat biscuits and drink tea. deviantart account Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 I've given three times. It's one of those things that's selfish not to do (I guess a fear of needles is a legitimate excuse) as long as you are a healthy person. I don't do it every time I can, only at convenience (when they are at my school, work, whatever). I was at a hospital a few months ago and I saw first hand how often they use donated blood on patients. Even the slightest loss of blood and they will get a pint from the refrigerator. It just reinforced my reasons to donate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 ...and I wanna keep my blood ty... ...because I want my blood to myself... I don't know I'm getting punk'd or something and by explaining this the joke's on me... Does everyone know that your blood regenerates itself? We're not talking about a kidney here.

Nitramosma Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I love giving blood. I've done it 5-6 times, but the problem is that I have a reaction to the needles. Namely I pass out. I've begun to inform the nurses of this and some of them are nice enough, upon my request, to just leave the needle in and let me continue giving while I'm out. The first few times it scarred me pretty badly because I wasn't expecting to pass out, but now I'm used to it and sometimes I even enjoy the feeling of having no idea where I am and how I got there after waking up.

The_Dragon_Reborn Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I would, but I can't. You need to be 17 I guess, and I'm only 16. Why wouldn't you unless you had some type of disease that travels in the blood stream or something? ~~Let The Dragon ride again, on the winds of time~~I've always felt as if I'm the only person who can understand the concept of sarcasm on the internet.

pennywise Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I would, but I can't. You need to be 17 I guess, and I'm only 16. Why wouldn't you unless you had some type of disease that travels in the blood stream or something? Not sure if this is true, but I heard that homosexual males can't/aren't supposed to give blood due to their tendency to get HIV easier. Is this true? Eight Bananas, MD.

Make7upu101 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I'm doing it tomorrow. I'll admit that I'm a little nervous. I'm a little scared since I've never given that much before. Really? ^_^ Good luck! I'm sure you'll do fine! Well...... I got rejected. I guess I sort of failed giving blood. I had a fever of 99.6 (felt pretty much fine except for a little sniffles that I usually have anyway all winter) and the lady told me I couldn't do it that day. A little bit embarrassing but I understand. She told me that the next person to receive it would be getting whatever virus/bacteria I have.
