i donated blood tdy!! 1st time in my life
tdy went to clementi CC to donate blood.i was lucky they wan my blood.
coz alot ppl either not enuff iron or flu or taken medicine & etc. thus not eligible.
juz to share my experience...
after filling e looong form. i went to check my blood pressure n took sample of my blood from my left middle finger.
i den proceed to e 'hot seat'.
1st attempt was my left arm. e nurse use e measure blood pressure thingy wrap my left arm n tried to find my veins. but cant find.
so change seat to try my right arm. again, cant find.
then she tightened e 'wrapper' den gave me a stress ball n squeeze.
i squeeze til hand no strength still cant find.
so she left me alone for a while n came back.
did e same thing. tis time i think show abit.
she injected anesthetic n apply e sterilizing solution.
den she inject e fat needle head into my arm.
but no blood flow out = cant find veins.
den she start to let e needle 'swim' left n right in my skin to find my 'playful' blood vessel.
it took her abt 7-9 secs den she got e blood flowing in e tube.
my mum saw it. she was lyk. wah.. she damn 'power'.
poke in cant find n start positioning e needle here n dere.
my mum say tonite sure blue black liao.
