No excuses. GIVE BLOOD.

[willow147]

It's not a case that there's anything wrong with my blood, it's more that giving blood could trigger another heart episode for me.

Ok, give them different details. Blag who ur.

No please do not, if you have given 13 times and the Professionals have said that is your lot then retire to the Pavilion and have a well deserved pint (or whatever is your tipple)

I have given blood a number of times but have been asked not to bother unless they contact me - it appears i am a very slow bleeder..... it takes me twice the time to give half the amount people usually give....... so i am a waste of their time. The only issue is i am A- so now and then i get a call to come in when they are low on that blood type.

Only 7% of under 25's give blood, which is f***ing pathetic. The most common reason given is that they are 'too busy'.

And the figures for organ donation I believe are something around 90% of people claiming they support organ donation whilst only about 24% are registered as donors. No doubt someone can find the exact figures.

Most common reason IMHO ? - too many people in life talk a good talk but so few people actually walk the walk.

Been doing it for years now, it's quick and painless and leaves you with a 'high'

I can't give blood due to a number of reasons, mainly personal ones.

I am however signed up for the Anthony Nolan bone marrow transplant list, and am a registered organ donor, so I'm happy doing "my bit".

That's as stupid as you can get.

If you think that's bad,how about the figures for ethnic minorities (although I doubt PCUK would release those figures).
