Most of the friends that i have (you included?) gave excuses when being asked to donate blood. They start saying this and that for me is not true at all;

• It’s painful

When being asked if they should apply a little tranquilizer to the injection point or not during the process by the nice lady in charge of me, my answer has always been no.

• I might get AIDS

They can afford disposable stuff, so leave your worries behind. Until they think spending RM400-RM700 for each donor during plasma and platlet transfusion is expensive and start reusing their stuff, then you’re out of luck.

• I’ll be gemok

I’m a frequent donor (as frequent as twice a month, as I’m an apheresis donor) and hey, look at me!

• I need blood, not to donate

You’re a qualified donor just by weighting 48kg and above

Most of us won’t think of things till it hit them in their heads. People around us are needing blood, and you or your loved ones might be next. Be pro-active, donate blood today.
