gothzane Posted July 15 Report Share Posted July 15 Im aroused by having a 50%+ chance of getting infected with a disease...and having 50 gallons of blood despritly needed by my vital organs to stay alive be drained out by a cold metal tube shoved awkardly into one of my veins....just excites me every time...

I have a fear of intravenous needles... but at least I have an acceptable excuse for not donating... I'm 15 lbs beneath the weight limit...

stacychase Posted July 15 Report Share Posted July 15 Yep there is a blood shortage, they are soliciting at work again.... Not sure I am attempting again, it took 3 - 4 pokes last time to find the vein. OUCH!! Not to mention they always ask us to give on Friday and you are not supposed to drink for I think 24 hours.

snoozi8 Posted July 15 Author Report Share Posted July 15 I gave because my dad needed it...he's sick and his hemoglobin count was way off....but my pint made him breakout into a rash... I told them he didn't want it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoke Posted July 15 Report Share Posted July 15 I've had blood drawn so many times now that needles don't faze me at all... I actually watch them go in... kind of interesting, though I certainly don't enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phatman Posted July 15 Report Share Posted July 15 ... i wouldnt mind if it wasnt for the fact that my veins are set deep so they sometimes can not find them; or better yet, go back and forth from arm to arm until they do ... in fact, if anyone has a site that lists local facilities, i would def. donate...OT - but when i think about needles and fear, i always revert to the image in Pulp Fiction of Uma Therman getting that booster shot in the heart...whoa...

Codica3 Posted July 15 Report Share Posted July 15 Hmm.. I've only tried to give blood once and the maximum amount of time that they will drain you is for 20 minutes so I sat there the full 20 minutes attempting to fill up the bag and only got like 1/4th full.. I dunno why.. maybe my blood pressure sux or there isn't enough blood in my body or some shit.. but I still have that scar from the needle in my arm to this day (this was done 3 years ago) and it was all for a waste cause they couldn't use the small amount of blood that I was only able to give.
