Finally i did it…
Wednesday, September 20th, 2006I DID something meaningful today:)
Wanted to donate blood ever since i was above 18 years old but thanks to my inborn hypotension this task had never been done.
Me and Cheemz went to the blood donation booth after our lunch. We bypass all the registration station and went straight to the BP checking station to check out our forever low BP. Surprisingly this round our BP had raised a bit than our normal reading.
After getting the approval from the doctor, we quickly filled up the forms and waited for our turn. We were so excited as this is our very 1st time to actually get a chance to donate blood….
The Q was too long and we were rushing to our lecture so we decided to donate after lecture. After our dreadly hemato lecture, we went to the booth and waited for our turn. Just as my turn arrived, a pharmacy gal fainted while donating her blood. This incident create more intense feeling as this was my 1st time to donate blood.
Luckily the whole thing went quite smoothly except for the part where the nurse cut the tube wrongly and caused my blood spilled on the floor. Wasted my precious blood….doesnt she know how complicated the process of erythropoiesis? Does she know that all the heme and globin are so valuable and need lots of mechanism to produce them??
Yes im stuck in the haemato system now…..shit still got 2 informative lecture notes waiting for me to key- in into my brain cells. Better start doing my PBL now before i fall asleep ….
