I can't donate blood, I am too anemic. I can't donate plasma either, my veins are too small or thin or something. I think this is a rip, at work people get 4 hours of annual leave if they do nate blood once a month--i think I should get it too, it is not my fault they won't take my blood--i am "blood donor disabled", so, I think I should get the four hours of leave too.
Just my personal opinion on that issue.

I don't think it's possible to donate blood once a month! The Red Cross makes you wait at least 8 weeks. |

Take the time off and go to the blood bank and get refused every time. |

This poll is so simple, but it got me to thinking about it. I don't know my blood type or that of my son. Maybe my wife knows. Next time I go to the Dr. maybe I'll ask about finding out. I just had blood drawn last week too.

Exactly. I have been doing blood type research for over a year now and the only way that I can put it is that it is in the pharmaceutical industry's best interest for people not to know their blood type. In many nations the blood type is written on the citizen's drivers' licenses. Now ask yourself why there is zero education about it in the U.S., Canada and most countries in Europe.
