@cjellwood the doctors don't, but the sick little children, or accident victims...they appreciate the help... and doctors DO donate

@cjellwood They DO. But they can only do it every couple months like everyone else...

I've never fainted after giving blood but one time i got internal bleeding and half my arm turned a different colour. It was pretty scary.

@cremebruleec most donors faint after their first donation. i did, and i've been back after that and i felt completely normal after these. if you do go back take plenty of fluids before and continue after. it worked wonders for me :)
