The Gift of Life
Donate blood, the gift of life.
donated my blood just now... should be my 8th or 9th times bah... cannot remember le...
well, the fact is tat, every year, there is sure some deficiency in some hospitals and sure not enuf blood de (for operation and stuff)... u may ask y... the reason is the amount of blood donors are so little...
i hope tat through my blog, i can encourage more ppl to donate blood... here i'll debunk some common myths about blood donations so tat ppl will be more willingly to donate...
Myth 1: Blood donation is painful.
Truth 1: Before the nurse poke the needle into u, they will give u local anesthetic (not sure how to spell). So u wont feel a thing, either before or after.
Myth 2: I'll get some blood diseases through blood donation.
Truth 2: For every donor, the nurse uses a new, sterile needle. So you wont get any infectious diseases.
Myth 3: I dont have enuf blood oledi. I cannot donate.
Truth 3: Well, on average each person will have 4-5 litres of blood. The blood donation only take around 450ml, which is only one tenth of the total. Unless u have masive operation (including give birth) or for female during menstruation, otherwise u have enuf blood to donate.
Myth 4: Donate blood harm me. I'll not have enuf blood if i donate.
Truth 4: The blood that u donate will be replaced in about 72 hours. So no harm will be done to your body. Furthermore, the next donation is 3 months later which is long enuf for your body to recuperate.
well, the list goes on and on... but these r the most common reasons ppl will give to avoid donating blood... well, i have friends tat r healthy and can run and sports but tell me i have not enuf chi (TCM stuff, got to do with life force or energy thingy)... wat de... go and die lah... such lame excuses... or they will say i m not feeling well when they can jump here and there... i really dont understand y ppl dont want to donate blood... it wont do u harm, it give other ppl life, u got free gifts from them, free food/refreshment after tat...
well, my friends, if u read my this entry, and u can donate blood, please do... i plead to u all, go donate blood... *i m not trying to curse anyone* u or your family member will have time when need blood transfusion, wat if no blood, tat is because selfish ppl dont want to donate... so please donate blood, dont wait till it is too late, then u donate... and please try to persuade as many ppl to donate as possible... Thanks....
