i think its stupid that we won't take blood from people that were in the UK. i work in a blood bank and we have very little blood.
I agree.....especially as so many Brits donate blood, and we are knee-deep in Brits here in Central FL.
The blood banks are missing out, or rather, the unfortunate people who need that blood.
I needed blood twice in my life, and I will be forever grateful to those donors.
A funny story....
Because of my thyroid problem, I have blood tests every 6 months.
I used to get them done at the VA Clinic in Orlando, which used to be a super US Navy Hospital.
The staff of the Path Lab had that dark sense of humour that most Military medics have. You vets will know what I mean.
I was there just before Halloween, and the Lab was decked out as "Dracula's castle", with costumes to match.
I was in the chair, waiting for Dracula's helper, when in walked a huge Marine in desert camouflage, maybe he was hoping they wouldn't be able to see him!
He sat in the chair opposite me, and was shaking like a leaf, very nervous indeed.
He had been to Iraq and Afghanistan with no problems, but admitted he was s**t scared of needles!
Hey Lauren, it's a piece of cake girl, don't worry!
My little trick is, turn your head away, and hum a CW tune.
