A local shortage is bad when you are the guy in the ER or OR.
However, this presents a great opportunity for churches and other groups of straight people to give blood to offset the gay blood donations.
Good point, it seems now like you need to get a signing on of some kind of private business to take care of donated blood now.
I respect your comment.
I stopped by the Red Cross Donation center by my office about an hour an and informed them that as a long time blood donor, I will no longer be making donations due to this decision.
Some may not like my approach, but I felt the need to make a statement to them today.
I know that very well, from personal experience.
Hmm. Don’t they already cover for the blood donors of contaminated blood? Now this was 7 years ago, but I suspect they still do it.
They said it’s so an employer doesn’t know whether you have allowed or contaminated blood. I guess some employers expect everyone to donate blood. They draw the blood from everyone and mark all the packages in such a way that they know the good from the bad, afterwards. But none of your co-workers or bosses know.
Can’t they do this with the HIV questionable blood drawn?
