I have had a couple of friends attempt to donate blood recently who were turned away because the machines weren’t able to draw from them.
Tubing issues were blamed first.
Eventually, the staff told them they couldn’t donate because the flow was being blocked by clots.
In both arms.
These people are all under the age of 35, by the way. And were under the impression they had no health issues.
Same here—I removed my name from the registry. I really hoped (a long time ago…) that someone would benefit from me via organ donation, but I’ve learned a lot about how that’s handled, and how the vultures are just waiting in the wings for you to be parted out…
Sorry that it had to be this way. We didn’t make the rules or policies, and I surely wasn’t trying to do it for any money.
When I changed my choice to NO the DMV lady got very upset. She wouldn't shut up about it. That was before covid. I have to go again this year and I'll give them a mouthful if they try to talk me into it again. I just read about the organ harvesters in the Ukraine taking injured soldiers organs and then finishing them off.
That is really none of her damn business. Be sure to give those idiots an earful if they trying pressing their entitled views on you.
We are truly having to deal with clown world.
