Donate Blood

Today I went to one blood donor center near to my place . It was my first time in Australia . They give me 2 forms : 1_personal information 2_questions about health background.

I answered most of questions and I left two questions without answer because I was not sure about answers. After that I had a interview with a doctor (one nice lady) , she check some questions with me and help me to answer those two questions . To make story short , I was alright with all questions expect one , and that one was: did you have contact with blood of somebody else ?, and my answer was Yes!! how did happened !? , well we were playing rugby in lismore and one guy get hurt and he washed his blood with one bottle of water . I did not have contact with that guy but my mistake was I washed my tooth protection with water of that bottle !oops! I know, I saw that after washing ! I feel Ok because that guy was their best player :-)

The doctor told me it could be risky if they take my blood and I have to wait until 27 Nov 2009.
At the end I like to add donating blood is a nice thing to do and is a sign of thinking about other people not only yourself!
I read this some where : only one in 30 donate blood but one in 3 will need blood in their lifetime . hope more people became motivated to donate blood ... thanks for reading.
