CragBaby: Platelet Donation Unsuccessful

  • Nate · 2 years ago
    I haven't given blood since college, half because I'm a terrible person, but also because I'm AB+, the universal receiver. So from what I've been told my blood is usesless :-(

    That's crazy. I've tried to donate since arriving home in Ireland, and have been told that I'm not allowed for a minimum of six months after being in Asia!
    Obviously a lot stricter here in Eire.....

    Nate... interesting. I have another friend who is exactly the opposite as he has a unique blood type (O maybe?) and is always called in for special cases.


    Neal, yeah, when I went to China I had to wait a year before I could donate. Here in the states is depends on how long you were there and in what areas (and the prevalent diseases). Thanks for continuing to try though. =)
