It was 5 months since I last donated my blood. I was donating to a patient who didn't make it, but this time is just merely out of voluntary. The direct benifit from blood donation is I get free medical check up, recycle my blood flow, and generate more new cells.

After donation, usually we get some hot chocolate and biscuits. But to my surprise is the hospital is also giving away RM60 of Sunshine Square (Supermarket) voucher! Cool huh? But some feel eerie thinking they are selling their blood. But not me, RM60 is a good attraction, but I will never "SELL" my blood for a mere RM60. It's the lab staffs there which makes me visit them again (5 months after my 1st visit). The staffs are very friendly, and they perform a full blood check for me while chatting away like friends.



Stats:-
10 months --> 1327 pacs --> 132.7 pacs/day (2006)
3 months --> 450 pacs -> 150 pacs/day (2007)

Good to know that the blood donors are increasing, proves that the 'conservatives' are reducing. There's no harm giving away few hundred mili litre of blood as long as you are healthy and voluntary. I love blood donation, not feeling even the slightest tiring~! Cool yeah :)
