I gave blood this week. Actually I gave plasma. I did that thing where they take you blood out, spin off the plasma leaving behind your read blood cells than they pump the red blood cells back into you. It is a pretty weird concept if you have not done it, but the machine they use is fascinating. Very easy. The trick is finding the time for most of us I think. But hey if you are looking for an excuse to kick up your heals and read a book for an hour give giving blood ago.
And if you are B Negative they need your blood. I think it is so hard to get that they have a goal of obtaining like 1 litre a day. I think from now on I am going to make a post when I give blood to remind others to get on the www.donateblood.com.au website and make an appointment. But you don’t need to make an appointment, you can just walk in off the street and give.
