Cancer Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 Heh. Could be I could've done something like that. My blood type is AB-positive, one of the types on the infrequent side. What turned out to be more important ... there is a virus whose name I do not remember, whose effect is, if you are under 24 hours old, it kills you; if you are over 24 hours old, it does nothing. Most people you see have it. I don't, or at least didn't at the time. In Austin I lived eight blocks from the blood bank for years. They knew the blood type thing, the no virus thing, and the lived-nearby thing, and as a healthy young man in his 20s, they called me up like clockwork as soon as I was eligible, and at least twice they wanted to skate in below the hematocrit threshold because they had an AB-positive infant in the region who needed a transfusion today. I didn't quite rack up five gallons donated in my time there, but it was close. Logan D.

Pariah Posted May 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 I used to donate blood just to confirm to myself that I could do it. I hate needles. I also used to "donate" plasma, but that was for less idealistic reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan D. Hurricanes Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 I used to donate because I'm O+, the universal donor. Unfortunately, I developed anemia and had to stop. Pariah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
