Flex Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 Well tonight I went to give blood and I for the first time couldn't as vein got bruised and stopped allowing blood to flow. But, what made matters worse was that apparently I have a rare platelet (but common as muck blood type) that means the blood is used for babies, which made me feel even worse for not being able to donate tonight. Anyway if you don't currently donate, please get yourself signed up! Quote
Harryjax Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 Well done. I've been a blood doner for years. I'm also on the organ donor list for any organs that are useful and may save someone's life. How many forum members are donors? Quote
spursmaddave Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 Never have a problem finding a vein, which is handy Quote
ioneabee Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 I'm signed up on both, but common as muck me I'm just a slow bleeder Quote

rtbiscuit Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 Last time I checked I wasn't allowed to donate blood. I have heamochromatosis, means my body stores iron, and to control it the take my blood, apparently it has a high iron count. I am however an organ donor. Although the quality of what's there is debateable Quote
stuarty Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 My opinion is that if your willing to accept a donated organ, you should be on the donor register. BUT, i dont think i could ever receive a hand transplantation, like the dude on TV last week. Weid, bitting someone else's nails, lol. Quote

The surgeon actually considered giving a woman a mans hand! I think i might be ok getting a womens hand though. Quote

SteveM Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 (edited) Donate blood and have done so for years and am on the organ donor list Have always said if I'm in a big time accident I'm in big trouble as when I give blood it comes out of me at record speed! Only time I couldn't give blood was after I had been to Bangkok Edited March 7, 2013 by SteveM Quote
Squee Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 Only time I couldn't give blood was after I had been to Bangkok I think they're going to allow the 'alternatively attracted' to donate blood soon so you should be ok S. Quote
