Blood donation

Do you ever donate blood? I want to but I’m worried the arm pain will interfere with my workouts. I had to skip a gym day once after getting a blood test because my arm hurt. And I know the needle used in donations is much bigger

I donate, I usually schedule it for a rest day.

If you never take a day off, maybe try to workout before donating.

Generally (for me anyway) after a day there's really no pain, or at least not any to keep me from working out.

I always wanted to till I learned that some companies will just straight up sell your blood ( but not to cover their costs but for profit ), its not really a donation to a person in need but rather a gift to a corp. Not sure if that still is a thing tho

no
hospitals and blood donation centers make about 800 dollars PROFIT off your donations

has anyone in any hospital in the US in the past 25 years been told 'sorry, we can't save your life because we don't have blood available.'

no

Sure but you get snacks at the end.

>has anyone in any hospital in the US in the past 25 years been told 'sorry, we can't save your life because we don't have blood available.'
If everyone used that as justification to not donate there would definitely be a shortage.
I don’t really care if some Jew profits, my brother in law almost died and had to take multiple blood transfusions, so I want to return the favor

There really isn't any pain once they take the needle out if they've done it right. The worst thing that's likely to happen is that you'll get a bruise around the area. They say that you shouldn't do any heavy exercise for 24 hours after, which I imagine is to stop a rupture or something, but it's never been a problem for me

>sell blood on dark net
>ask for 25 bucks
>buy snacks
>dont feed a jew

You may be able to have a hospital store your blood till a family member needs it

then they would have to start paying people

which is good

healthcare is already 99% fraud
they don't need the 800 bucks profit from your pint of blood so you lose massive amounts of fitness for their own shekels
they can make it up by charging 800 dollars for a teylnol pill
oh wait they already do that

You realize that places like Red Cross can’t do everything for free? They can’t rely 100% on money donations when they have overhead costs for their buildings, staff, and equipment. Honestly I don’t give a fuck if they sell my blood, as an O neg it’s valuable and helps anyone.

Blood donation bus comes to my gym every other month. I donated for the first time last month and I'm planning on doing it again next time. I wouldn't work out the same day though.

They don't pay for blood donations because every aids ridden nigger on the fucking planet would start donating, you retards

soyboy detected. About what pain are you talking about? Is it the needle you are afraid of?

This. Go to a plasma center where they pay you for your plasma. Huge concentration of degenerates and junkies.

The charity spent $2.2 billion on the blood business, most of which went to employee wages and benefits. By contrast, the charity spent $467 million, or 14 percent of total spending, on its famous domestic disaster response programs, including the expensive Sandy relief effort.

The current President and CEO of the American Red Cross (since 2008) is Gail J. McGovern, whose total yearly compensation for 2010 was about $1,037,000


TOTALLY NOT FOR PROFIT GUYS!

> ( but not to cover their costs but for profit )

I can understand that they need to cover their costs but I am talking big profit compared to what it costs them

I don't need to lose my fitness so some jew can make money off it at my expense

If it comes to a point where they have to pay they will be regulated to have procedures to weed out drug addicted homos, this isn't the 1970s anymore.

>operates at a net loss
>complaining about exec pay that constitutes a minimal amount of expenses
Can socialist brainlets please fuck off?

You really shouldn't do strenuous physical activity after giving blood for about 24 hours. Do some light cardio or take a day to focus on form with lower weight.
I'm gay so they don't want my blood anyway.

/pol/ invasion
Probably best to ignore, most logical thinking is tossed out the window or blamed on Jews

And who sells you snacks, silly?

Fucking US, that's so wrong

>lose massive amounts of fitness

Are you actually retarded? There's a myriad of studies/science based evidence that giving blood makes you gain better/feel better overall. Half of /fraud/ would be dead by now if they didn't donate or bloodlet to lower hematocrit/RBC.

Never because homosex and they say a contamined blood donation results in the destruction of several liters of blood, which seems to be a sensible argument.
But niggers are totally allowed to give theirs.

I think you should be more worried about the nutrients you're pumping out of your body

No, the risk that my blood will save a nigger/jew/gay/communist is too big.

kek in Spain blood donations are altruistic and they give you an orange reward, but its "free". The organs also can not be sold or bought.

>he lives in a shitholed country where the blood donation network does not screen every donor for a range of infectious diseases as well as screen the individual as well with basic background and history checks

I try to donate blood as often as I can, for no other reason than I'd hate to be in a situation where I needed blood and it wasn't available. With blood donations as opposed to blood tests, you lose a pint of blood, so you really shouldn't be doing anything strenuous for at least 24 hours afterwards, and I would personally recommend 48 hours. Anything less than that has had me just about pass out.

Mate, if you're so uptight about someone turning a profit after procuring a useful material through effort, then you should go to some communist shithole where you can get prison time for smuggling cheese. But at least the hospitals won't turn a profit with your blood. And if you think that the profits they earn from the donation process are so much beyond what they should be earning fairly, then you should do something about it, and make a business buying and selling blood, and make your own profit off the margins.

I had to quit giving for a different reason: The fucking Red Cross would not quit spamming my phone with appeals every week. I told them over and over to lay off, but it took months for that to happen. Now I don't want to re-trip their marketing by donating again.

Assholes

Just how much of a pussy are you?

>donating blood
Enjoy your bone marrow cancer and leukemia.

I get paid 70 dollars per "donation". Im not giving it away for free so they pay for my protein powder to restore what i lost.
