In the Time It Takes to Give Blood

Real blood donors talk about some of the trivial things they do that take the same amount of time as donating blood. This brief video is a light-hearted reminder that it doesnt take much time to save someones life, and you get to have donuts. This blood donation advocacy video was produced by In The Telling with educational funding from Johnson & Johnson.

In the time it takes for me to drive to my guitar lessons 45 miles away, do the 30 minute lesson, and drive home, I can donate an entire unit of 400 billion ir 4 X 10 (11th power)platelets through automated apheresis.

Blood banks must be very efficient in the United States. In Australia, I spend about ninety minutes at the blood bank - filling out the paperwork, being interviewed, making the donation, and then having a meal!

Hello! I am a recruiter for United Blood Services and I can tell you first hand how difficult it is to get people to donate. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you donors out there!
