You must be selling plasma, not DONATING blood, with donation there is no payoff other than feeling good.

Better get your DNR in order, then. It is no longer your choice once we deem you unable to make rational choices.

It isn't a matter of a DNR it is simply a matter of the card in my back pocket that states clearly no blood transfusions are accepted

Not even from the purest of your kin? If you'd care to answer, I'd like to know why. It's rather Jehovah's Witness of you.

Hahaha

the irony is that I was raised as one (not any longer associated though) and this is the one thing I agree with them on. Not on the basis of religion but for the disease factor and the complications factor.

I knew there was more to you.

Thanks for the candor. Parts of my upbringing on the religious tips stick with me in interesting ways as well.

Cool cool. Not trying to be an ass, but realize that emergency crews are going to err on the side of life if the patient's request in unclear. Just makes it easier to fulfill the patient's wishes if your documentation is as clear and official as possible
