I just did. Earlier today I went for a blood test for some medication shit. It was a fasting one, so I couldn't eat since 9 last night. The guy took 2 tubes and I started feeling light headed and next thing I know I'm laying in a bed with a wet cloth on my head. And what happens next? I get some Mickey D's, orange juice, and I'm back at school.
 
haha not me!

i donate blood every year, sometimes a twice a year, and ive never passed out once.

heck, ive never even felt light headed after one. i just sit down and their cookies and drink their juice.


good times
 
When I was in military, they made me give blood once a month..
for me it was the same ordeal... I give blood, I sit up, they give me some orange juice, I say "I'm fine" I get up... walk 2 steps and I fall :lol:
It happened maybe 6 times until my officer decided to "let me go" and never made me do it again.
Today the Red Cross are at our school, and I'm the only one from my class who is not going... Some girl was giving me the "omg omg how can you not go and help the world?" look
I just smiled at her and thought... "boy, she is so young"

heh.
 
Karen, they're allowed to force you to give blood?

I once offered to donate bone marrow when I was like 15 since there was someone I know who really needed it. But they said you have to be 18 to do that.
Haven't really considered doing it since. I have a rare type though

No, it's not really "forcing" it's more "setting a personal example"
If I'm expecting my troops to donate blood with no silly excuses (because it is VERY important after all, and if you're healthy then DO IT) then why would I get away... Military is a very different system where it's pretty much you get into shoes that are not yours and you behave differantly... in the "real world" you are who you are... But once you enter the base you "take the part"
so yeah, no one made anyone to do anything, but it was soemthing you "needed" to do... kinda hard to explain.
 
i donated blood in january at my school. i made sure to eat a nice dinner and breakfast before. Nothing happened to me. To show off i ran around the football field. bad idea. i ran it, walked to class. then i wake up a lunch at the nurses office on a bed passed out.
 
i give blood once a year, my gf passed out once from giving blood about an hour later, but not from a blood test.
 
Haha, I've never passed out, but I remember I once chomped down on the nurse's shoulder.

I hate being stuck with needles, and i was turning pasty white so she told me to lean my head on her shoulder so I could relax...and I remember my jaws just kinda clamped down.

I didn't hurt her or anything...she was just kind like "uhm...are you ok??" :ill:
 
This is the first time though it's happened. I think it was the fasting part that made me pass out. It was only for like 2 seconds or something according to my mom. She said I was shouting a bunch of cuss words. Not surprising, really.
 
haha, that's crazy!
I have never passed out in my life...I've been close, but I don't know what it's like at all

Wow. Someone finally gets it. It's not always about me, me, me.
 
Eating McDonald's, now that's the problem.

I don't really give blood anymore because they insist on a person waiting until at least a year after getting a tattoo, and it's been a bit since I went that long without updating my permanent (but colorful) scarification.

On the other hand, I once nearly cut my fingers off and it was such a long trip to the hospital I was getting pretty woozy from bleeding so long. Doctor said I lost close 23 ounces of blood.
