There Will Be Blood

I went to the Asian Hospital yesterday to donate blood for my cousin. I don't mind donating blood at all even if it is my first time doing it. I guess I'm already used to getting myself a medical exam in which includes blood testing or CBC. I've already had two medical exams this year alone so I don't mind someone sticking needles unto my skin.    

It seems like there is a high demand of blood nowadays that the blood hardly remains in the storage. Most of them are used within 24 to 48 hours. I wish all people would donate blood. I happen to be skeptic about the procedure. At first you might feel a slight sting but it usually fades away as you fill up the whole pint of blood. But all the nurses in the laboratory are very accommodating. I had found a greater respect to all diabetic patients who have to face everyday of their lives dealing with the needles.
