Anyone given blood lately? I returned to give a pint after a 20 year
absence from the donation centres and was not too impressed by the
experience.

No acknowledgement of previous donations, no local anaesthetic and NO HOT
DRINK AFTERWARDS.

I mean, I only went for the free tea and biccies.

Wot? No tea for nobody?

I know that first-time donors are only given a cold drink afterwards
because they say that there's a higher possibility of a new donor
fainting etc after having a hot drink - no, I don't understand it
either. After a twenty years absence they might be classifying you as
new donor.

I had a long gap between donations brought about by visiting places
after which they variously wouldn't let me donate again for six months
or a year, by which time I'd have visited another place and got
another six month or year suspension. If I had continued donating
without the gaps I'd still be able to do so but after that absence
record I'd be treated as a new donor and I'm now too old to be a new
donor so that's it.

Once, many years ago, I almost fainted after giving blood.
I was sitting having my little juice and a volunteer walked by
and looked at me and asked if I was OK - I was about to say "Yes"
until I realized that I wasn't ! She was there with a rolling cot in
about 3 seconds - just as my circle-of-vision was
narrowing to a pin-point ... just like an old movie fade-out.

Nope.

I miss the little blue “books” with a sticker for every donation. That way
you could easily see your donation total. No mention was made of my
previous donations today. It seems that my “new” ID card given to me only,
um 20 odd years ago is already out of date too.

I know it’s a small thing but they used to make you feel valued and seemed
grateful for your donation. Didn’t get that feeling today.

They’re so damned picky these days! After filling in the endlessly
repetitive questionnaires I really feel like I’ve been under-achieving
sexually.

I don't remember ever getting a local anaesthetic - but last time was
~40 years ago.

Maybe it’s a regional/local thing. Used to be routine at all my previous
donations.

Ditto and also ~40 years ago. I used to also give platelet donations,
that use to take an hour to hour and a half and still no local
anaesthetic, not that I needed it. On the other hand you had the sole
attention of a nurse for the whole time. She would even scratch my itchy
nose for me, well rub it with a cotton swab. You understand that I had a
canula in each arm, and a bag of my blood over my head. Out one arm and
deplateletted blood in the other.

Me neither. My last donation was sub-standard in some way, and that was
at least 20 years ago.

But we always got tea and a biccie.

Not just me then?

Being over 70, they haven't called me for a donation since covid started.
As they don't want you back if:
a) You are over 70 and
b) You haven't donated in the last two (??) years
I wonder if I am now on the scrapheap?

P.S. Yesterday I received a parcel which was a bottle (or two) of booze.

The delivery bod asked for my name and year of birth (to check I wasn't
a 15 year-old in disguise I suppose).
When I told him my year of birth his eyebrows shot up into his hairline.
He didn't realise time went back that far.

A while back, I had a yellow credit card-sized Blood donor card.
I then got a replacement in the post, since they said there was
'something wrong' with the original - and to please discard the old one
& use this one in future.

I put the new one with the old one, & went looking for some cutters to
deal with the redundant card and...

Both cards look identical, and I hadn't a clue which was which.

Could be regional.
I gave regular-like[1] until covid, & I can't ever recall a local

Here in Merca they never use a local anesthetic although with those needles they should . Also the snacks you get are either before or after donation, a large variety of cookies and soft drinks self-served.

If my blood flow is constricted I'll pass out. "Constricted" as in having
a blood pressure cuff tightened on my arm. Even though this is in my
medical notes I still have to mention it to medics when they prod me,
especially those that insist they want my blood pressure while
standing. And yes, it's like an old B&W TV turning off.

Probably due to the fact there's a bit of a nasty flu going around.
Someone handling food and making brews, keeping people hanging around indoors, etc and gubbins.

anaesthetic phased out 10 years ago. Sheesh, you miss a couple of
donations sessions and they change everything!
