Quote: Paul W @ May 21 2009, 8:22 AM BSTI tried to give blood last night but the daft "nurse" put the needle in completely wrong - felt like a hot needle being put in my arm.
Now I have a terrible bruise and it hurt for like 4 hours after.
Very tempted not to give blood again it's really put me off...
It can be hard to find a vein sometimes. Maybe do some exercise just before next time, it might help.

Get them to try the eyelid next time. There's plenty of veins there.
On the off chance I manage to persuade one person at least to give blood let me remind you what a good thing it is!!! Go on!!!
I can't or I would. Not me who makes rules 
Yeah there are a lot of people who want to but can't. My Dad used to faint every time bless him, but he still went.
They don't want my healthy dirty blood so they say
At least I hope it's healthy
Is you has gay blood?
That is a dumb rule, either way.
I have never noticed my bloods sexual preference, plus I wouldnt know how to ask it if it likes sex with other men. It's a very personal question to ask ones blood.
I've asked all my bodily fluids if they are lesbians.
Really? Lesbian body fluids? How very very queer indeed.
Mine say they're not...

Hooray you can't be executed by lethal injection.
Just got back, had my orange squash and ginger nut biscuits. Feeling good!
I'm thinking of joining the Organ Donor Register. I've filled in the form but I'm getting cold feet about it now. I'm worried that sending it off might hasten my own death. It's the right thing to do, though. Somebody might need my small bowel and eyeballs one day.
Don't they do something really disturbingly disgusting like keeping you artificially 'alive' in order to remove the organs?
