We had a Blood Donation Drive at work today. I suddenly felt like i should do My bit for humanity and donate.

This is the first time I ever donated and i was scared(Im scared of needles,doctors,hospitals,blood)

I have a hisotry of fainting at the mearest sight of blood. I fainted when my Dentist was working on a tooth ,i fainted when i saw a bit of blood during a routine blood test.

But, I still decided to donate and even collected a few colleagues(why should i go alone) to do the same.

When the doc took a blade to prick my finger to rest Haemoglobin levels I was already Pale. Then They gave me the Haemopack which had the largest needle i ever saw and i was fast loosin my bravado and was turning to run( alas!! had my colleague standing right behind(the Captain) and he wouldnt let me run)

The Captain was brave and with full fanfare donated blood( said We from the Army are used to blood donation )

When they made me lay on a bed to donate..I realized all my colleagues were staring to see me react(Which did when the needle pierced though my skin)It was as if the expected to see Green Blood instead of red.

Well post my generous act of Humanity I feel dizzy and have been asked to eat and relax.. which i am !!

Back at my desk and staring at PC
