Yes. I do it once a year, but I know I should be doing it more frequently
wildbill83 · 41-45, M
Yep, I quit doing it after finding out that the red cross turns around and sells it to china for profit...
Nitedoc · 51-55, M
@wildbill83 I wasn't going to say anything, but you're right. People donate blood because they are told it helps those who need it. That's true, but the Red Cross is a for profit business. You give them your blood for free and they sell it for an unbelievable profit.
wildbill83 · 41-45, M
@Nitedoc they all do it; you donate to a hospital because they say they need it...

but if you need a transfusion, they charge you thousands of dollars for it...

nothing charitable about it anymore
Nitedoc · 51-55, M
@wildbill83 I know. It should be exposed for what it is. It's a slippery slope though. We don't want blood supplies to drop down to critical levels but the profit margin is just unbelievable.

@ChiefJustWalks I genuinely gave her that nickname like eight years ago or something. I am honoured she always kept it lmao

Yeah platelets and plasma too.
im due to do my 106th next week.
It's a scam, all that blood goes to vampires.
sree251 · 41-45, M
Never. It's not your blood. It is the body's blood. Donating blood is unnatural and akin to excessive bleeding when the body suffers an injury that drains blood from the body. It may not kill the body; nevertheless, it is a trauma that the body is subjected to.
Offthetop · 51-55, M
@sree251 science much?
sree251 · 41-45, M
@Offthetop It has nothing to do with science. Science even tells you to give up a kidney for a good cause. You don't have anything. What you donate belongs to the body. How would you like to have half your life savings donated by the US Government to humanitarian aid in Gaza?

A couple times. Both times I got sick the week after. The 2nd time I almost passed out during.
A third time I couldn't because my iron was too low.
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
Never. I read that I'm not supposed to because I smoke a lot of weed but I've known drug addicts who donated often so I suppose I still can. I just don't though
twistedrope · 26-30, M
No. I can't seem to find the blood donation place and rarely have the time. Then again I work for a hospital so imo, I do enough for healthcare.

Over the years a lot of it. At one time the Red Cross gave me a card for being a 5 gallon donor. I have not given recently.
Offthetop · 51-55, M
I did three times and was just making it a regular thing but am now ineligible due to a medication.
brian29715 · 46-50, M
A few times but not since my time overseas. The Red Cross won’t take mine anymore.
Sandcastler · 22-25, M
yeah I got told off by coach for it too, apparently it disrupts training
No. I’ve never been well enough to. 😅 Was always, at the least, grossly anemic.
sben4200 · 51-55, M
Sure. I haven't done it for a while but used to do it frequently.
Wizardry · 46-50, M
Have once but can’t remember how old I was
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
Many times. Why?
Dicey · 31-35, F
@samueltyler2 Because I donated blood today
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@Dicey good for you. You may have helped save the life of 3-4 people!
