I'm going friday to donate blood over at rex. If anyone wants to donate, and doesn't because of lack of personal transportation, I'm willing to take some folks with me. 8/7/2006 11:39:51 AM |

My biggest issue is that they don't want my dirty blood. Even if I am a universal donor. 8/7/2006 12:08:03 PM |

I'll get to the campus area ~9ish, and depending on whether my dad can donate again yet, I'll head out to rex immediately. Also, whether or not I have to be to work by 3 will matter, as does who all else I can convince to go with me. 8/7/2006 1:07:51 PM |

watch out for the phlebotomist with Hep-C.
if you get her, claim you gotta go to the bathroom real quick, then get in the back of the line, and try again. 8/9/2006 3:59:22 AM |

i was a carrier of TB and i've had hepatitis-like symptoms caused by an allergic reaction to Zithromax which damaged my liver.
both of those make me ineligible to donate blood, which is good because i hate needles. 9/22/2006 2:30:20 PM |

If it doesn't interfere with my class time, I'll go with you. Apparently my blood type would be good to donate. And if I eat a lot beforehand I won't pass out this time. 1/16/2007 10:14:40 PM |

Instead of going to Rex or somewhere else off campus, I would like to personally invite you to the FIJI blood drive on campus this Friday.
The drive will be held from 11:30-4:30 at the Talley Student Center in the ballroom on the second floor. We are always looking for people to come donate and you can even sign up for an appointment to ensure your spot.
Just go to http://www.membersforlife.org/cbsr/schedule you can search by sponsor code: 7635 or you can email twteague@ncsu.edu for more information.
We would love to have you come support us! We are even having the double red cell machine for those that are interested in giving two pints at a time.

I give platelets because they're needed so much more, and because I can give more often.
I'm posting this more as a 'now you have no excuses to not donate' than as a 'my collection site is better than yours nneneeeeeeener'] 1/16/2007 10:25:24 PM |

I hope my post was not seen as one to say one place is superior than others, I just want to give those who want to donate another option in case they are not able to drive, etc. the main thing is that people motivated to donate blood and save lives. 1/16/2007 10:42:30 PM |

I think the ladies at Rex hate me. I always pass out halfway through the donation procedure 1/18/2007 3:22:51 AM |

I have donated many times...but for myself. Before each surgery I was required to give 3 pints. first time around i didn't use them so they went back into circulation....so i guess that counts as donating for others
although second time around they had to do a couple of transfutions so i didn't end up donating to someone else after all. 1/18/2007 3:33:32 AM |
