Just gave blood again, do you?

I would do this, but last time i went to the hospital I fainted when the nurse tried to put a few stitches. Thank you to those that do :)
 
I have done it once when I was about 17/18. I went to do it a few years ago and the nurse said I couldn't give it, I can't remember her reasoning. Was pretty gutted as I have had family that owe they're lives to blood donors, so thank you to all who donate.
 
Never have, never would either :(

Have many many tattoos which is a no no, and im stupidly scared of needles :(

...yes i understand to have a tattoo is to be stabbed hundreds of times with a needle, but its different :p
 
Not been for ages now, and they keep phoning me. The waiting time was getting daft i used to book a time of about 15:00 and the last two times i went it was at least 15:40 before i even had the iron test.

Have told them this on the phone and they don't seem that interested and just say why not come in on a Saturday.
 
Due to the amount of interaction I have with the health service I'd like nothing more than to "give something back" and donate some blood. Alas due to my numerous medication I am unable to.
Not worried about the needles - I had rather large ones stuck in my arm 3 times a week for 3yrs, so that part is a walk in the park for me :)

Id be more than happy to give blood, but never got around to doing it. Will most likely sign up in the near future.
 
Just booked myself in again for the next local one to me (next month the 19th)

Trying to get as many mates to do the same. If you are healthy there is no reason not to.
 
Should be able to squeeze in one more donation before my Tattoo - then I'll have to give it a short break then back on the needle.

Got my results recently & it seems I'm unable to do platelet donation (sadly!) - as I'm willing, the right blood group & have good enough veins - but they need people with superhuman counts of platelets & mine is pretty normal.
 
I had to stop giving at Christmas due to having a virus. Got the all clear to go back though and went in on Monday and they've put me on standby for platelet donation.
