Donating Blood

**Sephiroth28** · 07-20-2011, 03:13 PM

So I donated blood for the first time today because I wasn't doing any sport and I was finally old enough. I was a pretty nice experience. The people taking the blood were really friendly and the place it was held at was really comfortable.

I plan to continue donating blood in the future and was wondering if anybody else donates blood and how often they find themselves donating when able.

I've always wanted to donate blood, just never really got around to it.

Haha, My dad can't even watch other people get their blood drawn or he freaks out and it was hosted at his work so he had to stay away from that area. lol

Just don't look at the needle going in, it's not that bad lmfao and you save 3 lives.

I donate every 3 months. I have AB+. :3 Rarest platelets lmfao.

I never give blood. I don't even get flu vaccines. Last time I got lidocaine they had to put me on oxygen.

Sad part is that I'm O- and it's pretty much my duty to give T_T

justin_ator · 07-20-2011, 07:46 PM

I give whenever I know a drive is coming... given four times now, in the last two and a half years. I'm O+.

DO NOT read between these lines if you have never given blood and are contemplating it, if you get queasy easily, or if you hate hearing about needles or blood in general. You've been warned.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It honestly doesn't bother me much...the first time I watched the needle go in because I was fascinated by how FREAKING HUGE those things are, haha. But the chick doing it was like wow, you didn't even flinch and I just kinda looked at her like 'oops was I supposed to jump so you stab me?'.

Fun stories to go with this topic though...my hs would do 2 blood drives a year, and I was in the NHS and StuCo, which one ran the first and the other the second...so I'd always get to skip all of my classes (except Calc, didn't want to miss that..) to help out with the blood drive where I could. Got so many free t-shirts from that. Lol. But yeah, back to my stories...I saw a number of people faint or pass out, I saw one kid have to get stabbed like 4 times total because the nurse just could not get her act together, and I saw one dude spray the nurse when she hit his vein. It was sick...it got on his shirt and glasses too....lol. That was an interesting day.

I got a serious bruise taking up 1/3 of my arm from it and never did it since. It didn't hurt much but it looked like hell.

justin_ator · 07-20-2011, 10:07 PM

I got a bad bruise the third time..it lasted two weeks. Didn't hurt or anything though so I just kind of ignored it.
