ventaThis lunchtime, Sysadmin #1, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ach and I went to Blood Donors'.
They wouldn't let ach give blood, he'd just come back from America (which you'd have thought would be safe).
They wouldn't let me give blood, apparently all my Haemo Goblins have gone away. I failed the approximate Hb-level test, then failed the more accurate one. Now I just have to wait for the blood sample I gave to get sent off to their labs for even-more-accurate testing, to see if it's a serious problem or a minor glitch :(
(Oh, andkate_r, I bit the bullet and filled out the Bone Marrow Donor form - only they wouldn't take it because I failed their tests :( Maybe next time...)
Ah well. Sysadmin #1 gave blood. Me and ach did the only sensible thing, and went to the pub to wait for him. No, we didn't miss the irony of gaining a pint instead of losing one.

Date: 2003-11-26 02:30 pm (UTC)I know a few people who have stopped giving blood over various points of principle over how the system is run. I don't like it either, but until such time as they rule me out (hair too long, nose too big, sarcasm too excessive...) I'll put up with it in the interests of helping them have any blood at all.
Sadly, I don't see it getting any better. They're introducing new rules all the time - I'm sure they never used to worry about whether you'd taken aspirin in the last seven days.
