Good job. I would like to but I nearly pass out everytime I do it for the dr so can't bring myself to do it voluntarily

Gets more difficult to argue against that when you consider the ridiculous price they charge to use the blood.

They take sooo much....


Hell, they pay for plasma and you get your blood cells back.

I also feel like organ donors should get a little something...
