World Blood Donor Day
Blood cannot be manufactured. It can only be donated.
Every day, donated blood supports emergency care, surgery, cancer treatment, and many other medical needs.Insights shared through My Patient Advice often highlight how community participation strengthens healthcare systems.

Good morning this Sunday. Another 54 days has come and gone so it’s time to bleed. I’ve always had quick, painless, and uncomplicated donations. I have zero excuses and they make it very easy these days with the RapidPass on the phone, which I completed while having breakfast. If you can, schedule your next donation or find a blood drive near you. #DonateBlood

I finally hit the 6 gallon mark with lifetime blood donation #48 today with the American Red Cross! It’s always been enjoyable to ride on trails and greenways for most of my trip to and from the appointment, as it relaxes me. Gallon number 7 is my next target!

Free, voluntary plasma or blood donation saves lives. It's so easy!
If you donate plasma, you will be given an infusion of saline solution in the appropriate amount to replace what you have lost. The device centrifuges the plasma and returns the blood cells, etc.
If you donate blood the amount lost is smaller so you will not be given anything to replace it; you will need to replenish your fluids yourself afterwards.
And then I get thanks and food in my department, even vegan food.

Donated 3 units of platelets today at Stanford's Blood Center. They are probably already on their way to a human who needs them over the next day or two.
Usually it's 2 units unless they have a need. The 3rd unit adds about 20-30 min overall to the collection time.
Donate if you can. #blooddonation #donateblood #platelets

After giving lifetime blood donation #47 today, I visited the MLK memorial in Seattle and reflected on the new article in the South Seattle Emerald looking back at the efforts to rename Empire Way to MLK Way before I was born.

Had a routine blood donation where I get blood pulled out, spun around, platelets collected, and the leftovers returned to me. Otherwise known as a platelet donation. At one of Stanford Blood Center's locations.
Usually it's a 2 unit donation, but they asked if I had time for a third unit. Sure!
Lifetime donation #233 in the bags, and 13th for this year. My platelets will probably be put to use for a surgery or chemo patient in days, perhaps tomorrow.

Trying to Be Positive just like my blood type B+. Hey … if you can… go bleed for those in need. They even gave me free #PacMan socks. This was my first time going in 8 AM Sunday… in and out in 20 min, will do that again. Lots of empty beds. #DonateBlood #RedCross

Spreading my positivity today. My “B+” that is. Always feels good when I can get my wife to join me for a blood donation session 2 for 1! As of this donation I’ve donated 6 gallons with the Red Cross. #DonateBlood #RedCross #B+

Woohoo, today I have enough blood to spare! #donateBlood #giveBlood

Number 62.
Be a good homelabber and donate some of your selfhosted blood!
You have enough by design, and it will save lives. -
Donating blood plasma again. They have aircon here, so that's my main reason today 😹
-
@girlonthenet Me too. Its something I do regularly. Altruism feels good. Plus, there maybe, might be a chance donating blood lowers cancer risk.

Today was my first donation of Blood.
There can never be a next time if there is never a first time.
Something I have wanted to do for a long time, but struggled with a deep phobia for needles and the unknown. Today I was finally able to overcome it.

🇬🇧 Today I went to donate blood for the first time! 🩸That also means I received an answer to most of my questions about donating blood while genderqueer, on HRT and ADHD medication in Germany.
- Gender, Sex, HRT
Women can donate four, men can donate six times a year over here. Since I officially carry the 'third gender' of my country and I've been on HRT for several years, they didn't initially know what to do with me.
They expressed sympathies with me on how aged and outdated their systems and protocols were – most of them were still on Windows XP or older and the software only featured 'male' and 'female' options.
They came to the conclusion that due to my long-term hormone replacement therapy, I was nowadays closer to 'biologically female' than 'biologically male', and that they'd keep me in their systems as female.
[This was somewhat funny to me. I can only imagine what a transphobe would think about the idea of medical personnel determining me as biologically female.]
Hormones were also no issue whatsoever, and the doctor told me that my 'transsexuality' that I initially put into 'pre-existing conditions' is not a medical condition but just a facet of life and therefore should not be listed there.
- ADHD medication
Taking Lisdexamfetamine (Elvanse/Vyvanse) was not an issue whatsoever. They're mostly looking out for blood-altering medication such as blood thinners, and illegal drugs.
They're trying to minimise risks, and people who take illegal drugs are way more likely to use unsanitary syringes or even unknowingly consume unknown or dangerous substances that may linger in the blood due to consuming laced drugs.
Same thing with sex: since 2023, they don't ask for sexuality anymore. Instead, I was allowed to have 'up to and including 2' sexual partners within the past four months, or 'up to 1' sexual partner with who I practised anal. No questions about sexual orientation appeared.
Hope this helps someone!

I'm unable to donate blood as when one of my medications is given in huge doses to pregnant rats it can cause birth defects.
Personally I'd rather my blood was given to humans, not rats.

Successfully completed lifetime blood donation #44 to the American Red Cross today before picking up some groceries (shortage of ice cream in my freezer is a true emergency). Time to rest and recover (and have some ice cream)!
