Donated some blood this evening
Ever since I had to have a transfusion a few years ago post-op from surgery, I've promised myself I'd donate some of my own when I had the chance...
So after being ineligible for many years due to having previous transfusions, various surgery, travel to developing nations with icky diseases etc, I figured no better time than the present, so I dropped into my local collection centre unannounced.
It felt pretty odd being on the receiving end of the needle, its commonly me holding the needle! All in all, the collection staff were a delight, and I could really tell they are pretty desperate for donations at the moment
Is anyone here a regular donor? You deserve a bit pat on the back if you are I reckon! Its something I think more people should consider doing, you never know, it might be received by and help out a fellow Landy lover!
Cheers,
Seano

Good on you. It's a great thing to do.Yes, I am a regular donor (62 donations so far).
Now that I work away, it is harder to visit as often as I'd like, eg I'll miss the local mobile collection in September due to work.

any idea if there are restrictions on donating if you're a diabetic, or if the restriction on people who were in the UK when the mad cow scare was on is still in force?

Not sure about diabetics (would assume a restriction), but the mad cow thing is still relevant.Originally Posted by Sprint

Mad cow is one of there screening questions, I still answered yes to lots but they aren't necessarily exclusive. You can give them a call on 13 14 95 and ask directly to find out for sure. (EDIT: checked their website - if you were there for more than 6 months between 1980-1996, your permanently deferred from being able to donate http://www.donateblood.com.au/admin/...ct%20Sheet.pdf), I'm pretty sure diabetic status was also asked, but I'd be pretty sure if you are within normal glucose levels at the time it wouldn't be a problem, and maybe you'd get extra lollies at them end
Numpty, 62 is amazing! That'd be 15 years worth of donations, give or take a little bit.
Maybe we should set an AULRO target - something like get 50 donations from members in a certain time frame?

SubscriberI have been donating blood in the past and present, but in Oz they did not want my blood, due to me staying overseas some years earlier... weird.

There are people who spend all weekend cleaning the car.
And there are people who drive Discovery.
I'm not allowed...
My bloods not good enough.....
Apparently my obsession for ink black lists me.

I have been a blood donor for 39 years now and have donated 115 times. Pretty easy thing to do fellas and the best thing is the cuppa, bikkies and other goodies they treat you to after you have donated. I would urge anyone who is eligible to donate to get in there and do it. Its a worthwhile thing to do as there are so many people out there who need blood donations just to stay alive. Just think one day it may be you or one of your loved one who need that donation.
