I mean, if you're gonna get something, might as well be while "gettin' some"
are you serious? what kind of place that you donate blood at is going to not be sterile?

About 10 years back...that's how I found out that I had hepatitis C. Can't give blood anymore.

I never have...I think I should though. If not for donating, for finding out my blood type.

Never have and I won't accept a transfusion either so it balances out pretty good that way.

It avoids a lot of unnecessary complications in surgery, also avoids disease potential (yes things still get through the screenings), and it is just my personal conviction that it is not needed.

When you lose three liters of blood we'll see how you feel about a transfusion then. The average person has 5-6 liters. Hope you sign your consent before you pass out.

Not bad, i just sit there on my laptop for about an hour. get my money and leave. it only hurts a little when they stick you, and when they take it out. Other than that, it's pretty much what i would do at home.

It is my choice and no I won't consent regardless of the outcome to my life.
