Do You Give Blood?

[Rage]

I've given blood a couple times.

In the words of Irishrush, "That's beast."

Who wouldn't!? You're helping society, AND you're able to get buzzed faster! That's a double-win right there!

lol. i don't give blood often at all, first time was last year as a senior in high school (gf dragged me to it)

a half-hour after i was done, i stood up to head bback to class and almost killed myself walking down the 3 steps off of the stage in the auditorium. another hour later and i was well enough to head back to class. i was extremely light headed, dizzy, and nauseous. apparently, because i'm a bit larger than most (tall, as well as heavier) they decided to take more than normal, because the banks in my area were really low. so instead of the standard, they took 1.5X...not good for your first time.


plus i don't like needles

Did they disclose this to you or did they just decide to steal your blood without asking?

I did it once in HS... they told me I was a fast bleeder, which wasn't bad i guess to them. So now im under the assumption if i get shot or stabbed, im fucking screwed!

well, technically it could have been worse. they didn't fill the second bag.

it's fine, i just don't give much, only once since then, and i didn't do too well then either
