Give Blood


Recommended Posts

I know some of us are a long way from Victoria and would like to help in some way so this afternoon I am going to the blood bank and am going to donate Plasma. If they get more donations that they can use in Qld they will send the excess to Victoria to help.

 

I am sure the plasma is needed in burns cases so hopefully my bit will help.

 

This is just a small way that we can help out.

I wish but after doing my foot and the stuff they gave me I can't. My work is only 2min from the blood bank in the City so work is getting a large group of staff to go.

 

And are donating and matching what staff donate via the pay office. Nice work I say... So I will be doing that..

The mobile wagon that comes around my way also requires an appointment, and they do not take plasma. They take the lot, but you gotta pass a hemoglobin test and I don't pass.

 

The other thing that puts me off is that they always seem to have 3 or 4 stabs at finding a vein, leaving me with a black bruise and a sore elbow for 3 weeks.

I go to the Donor Centre in Brisbane CBD under my Building, 288 Edward St.

 

They're really efficient and have never had a problem with nurse incompetence. Been going there for years, since they moved from new Riverside.

 

 

Usually they can accommodate walk-ins, though I imagine a lot more people than usual are donating due to the headlines surrounding Vic bushfires. Good to make follow up appointments though.
