Hello officer put it on my tab

I used to donate Platelets every month. I was told that I had the highest count per unit they had ever seen in the Wellington region. After 58 donations they had to stop taking it due to me being a mad cow.
I was in the unit donating the day they made the announcement and ended up getting my 15 secs of fame. TV1, TV3, Dom Post all came and interviewed me on my thoughts about the decision. I made the national news.
Worst thing was I have directly saved at least 2 people (confirmed by the practice supervisor). As people have said on here. If you are lying there about to die, would you take the chance on the possibility of contracting something that exists in such a small percentage of the population and which they currently have no test available to identify it (unless they find it during autopsy).

We came, We listened, And in one voice we answered
BULLSHIT!! BULLSHIT!! BULLSHIT!! BULLSHIT!! BULLSHIT!!
Blood - just give it!
Hey folks, sorry I fell over but duty called!
...though it doesn't matter, as gijoe1313 was the sole turner-upperer, and that was only at my behest to see if anyone had turned up!
I got sent around 5:30pm to transport a young girl from Middlemore to Starship - as Mrs Donor has said, she by now has probably received several units of blood due to an internal bleed... ironic huh?
Anyway, I will instead be going to donate;
THURSDAY 29th NOVEMBER
I'm finishing at 1500, so will be guaranteed the time to go.
I encourage ALL those who want to donate and especially those who have never tried, to come with.
64 years ago, blood transfusions saved my fathers life - so in essence, it made my life as I know it possible too...
I'll probably throw another thread up Monday, as being the slack ass I am, I'll probably forget about this one anyway.
