  • Are you the one putting the yellow cake on or donating? Can you donate platelets?? Have they ever asked you? I donate platelets ever 7 days. More of a demand. I read where you can donate only 24 times a year. I want to do it 100-1000 times a year, if it can save someone, thats what I care about. I really don't care if I get sick, just want to help someone. I remember one time this old man was donating, he farted real loud and we all heard it. Nurse removed the needle and asked him to leave.

  • I'm donating. I simply don't have the time required to donate platelets and don't know if I could handle a couple hours with a needle in my arm. I simple can't spare two hours 24 times a year. I give whole blood but not often because I am prone to low iron.

  • Omg that needle was huge! I've never given blood but had blood drawn. Maybe they use different size needles

  • The blood donation needle is larger because you are giving a pint and not just a vial. Giving blood really isn't that bad. It hardly hurts at all. I wish I could give more often. :)

  • It's too bad donating blood is a great thing to do. but on the other hand Red Cross is ran by menopausal meg la-maniac morons.

  • I donated the other day. I fugured by this time next year or a little after that I will be at my 2 gallon mark. I asked my dad in June how much he has donated and he said probably 5 or 6 gallons so far and he is the reason I donate because he always has done it plus he also said it would be great to have the organ donor symbol on my license so I do that too.

  • It doesnt hurt even when the needle goes in, it just feels hot when the needle goes in and when it comes out you just feel a little spot of pressure, they'll tell you that , also that technician idiot didnt know which vein to use....fool , "I should be in there?" owwlll - stupid.

  • It only hurts when they insert the needle. Once it's in you can't feel it. Do you mean after the needle is taken out? It only hurts maybe a minute at most.

    Really, the worst part is overcoming the fear of the big needle. The actual donation is really easy. In fact, I finally got my iron levels up and am cleared to donate again. I'm hoping to do so Saturday after next. :)

  • hello... thanks for the reply.. i wanna know how long it wud hurt tho??

  • It only hurts when the needle goes in. Then you can't really feel it.
