I should donate more often but I've been having some problems with anemia. I figure I've had a 4 unit transfusion and only given 3 units, I need to donate at least two more to more than break even. |

The last time I tried was 2004. I waited 3 hours before getting to a chair. The guy stuck that needle in, and nothing was coming out. So he decides he's not in the vein right, so he starts digging around with that needle....for four minutes.  Yes, four minutes. I was watching the clock.
The blood was coming out like molasses. He went away for a while, came back. The bag hardly had any blood in it. He pulled the needle out, said that what was in the bag was too little to save, but they took too much to try the other arm. So the entire thing was for nothing. |

For the first time ever, I got out of there without a bruise the size of a postcard on my elbow. Local blood drive bus at the library with several techs inside. Some little Indonesian kid who couldn't have been older than 20 gave me my first ever no fuss/no muss blood letting.  Several weeks before, the same bus had a chick on board who stuck me 3 times thru the pipe, and then giggled that it was her first day. |

Quoted: Your tale makes think I should probably avoid donating blood then because I, too, have really thick blood that coagulates real fucking quick.

Red meat helps a bit too. (Assuming you don't have other medical issues, of course) |

Quoted:
No clue. Can I do a home test? Sure thing. Just get you a bunch of blood antigens for A, B, and Rhesus proteins. Then you're going to need some really small cups. Get yourself to bleed a little into each on of the cups and add the antigens. Whichever one goes from looking like blood to looking like water with little red flakes that sink to the bottom is your blood type. ...or donate blood and ask them to send you the results (at least the Oklahoma Blood Institute will do that, too bad Dad threw mine away before I got home from college to read it). |

Twenty-odd years ago, the Army told me I was O+.
I'd love to be able to donate blood, but as a cancer survivor, I highly doubt anyone would want it. (I know I wouldn't want someone else's blood if at one point they'd had cancer cells flowing through it.) |

Great for you, sucks for me.
I'm negative for some common virus that they don't like to give to infants, as well. I'm pretty much on the vampire top 10 menu. ETA: Type O- represents around 6.6% of the U.S. population. Type O- can be recieved by anyone, however type O-'s can only receive O-. Why does this suck balls for us, you ask? It's pretty simple - Your gunshot/zombie bite/car crash/whatever ass gets dragged to the E.R. You are losing blood at an alarming rate, and need blood now. The first thing they do? Plug a few (hundred) units of O- into you to keep you alive. Eventually they'll figure out your blood type, and refill you with a better match. Great for you, take a week off work, and go home. In the mean time, my gunshot/zombie bite/car crash/whatever ass gets dragged to the E.R. A day after you just bled out 200 units of O-. They give me enough to keep my alove while they blood type me. Well fuck, I can't survive any other type, and one of you thrill seekers just bled out the whole supply. Yay me. I just died in the hospital. I'm pretty sure it'll be attributed to gunshot/zombie/not wearing a seatbelt, not to the fact that some AB+ asshole used up the O- supply! O negs: please donate. You just might save my life. Everyone else: Stop doing stupid shit that makes you bleed! If it's not your fault, and that pint I gave a bit back saves your ass and I get to bleed to death, I can live with that. If it is your fault, and you live, and I die... I will fucking haunt your toaster. You don't like toast? I will make toast like you. You will not like it. This is a promise. Stop wasting my blood. |
