What are blood donation services like in your country?
>>199162932I've never donated blood
>>199162932I almost pass out every time I get blood drawn
>>199162932you can sell plasma for like $500 a month. blood donations can't be paid because of some gay law.
>>199163009>>199163061>>199163112Ok but does the government give you chocolate cakes and one free coke? I think India is better in this regard
>>199162932nothing, they only pay for travel cost or parking cost to the blood donation station. at least it was like this in my case, then i donated my blood 10 years ago.
>>199163353So you’re telling me the government doesn’t give you chocolate cakes and one coke for free, like in India? I think India is better than germany in this regard.
>>199163507>So you’re telling me the government doesn’t give you chocolate cakes and one coke for free, like in India?nope, you get mostly nothing. not even a fucking chocolate bar and one coke, greedy bastards.
>>199162932they give out cake and teddy bear hereplus you receive back the blood you have donated if you found yourself in need of it (free, presumably) AB+ subhuman like me no need in the system
I'm anemic, I can't donate even if I wanted to
>>199163152No but when I pass out the lady sometimes gives me animal crackers and apple juice to raise my blood sugar
>>199163562>>199163584>>199163616>>199163772Uhhhh okay so what you mean to tell me is that the government doesn’t give you chocolate cakes and one coke for free? I think India is better than your country in this regard.
>>199162932We get frequent donater points. If we donate multiple times, we get a lovely budget tote bag boldly labelled with the donation center's name.
>>199163152>>199163823I'm thinking India is better than my country in that regard.
>>199162932you get a $20 amazon gift card
Yeah I have O negative type blood.No I won't donate.Fuck off!
>>199163616Are you a woman?
>>199163829>>199163850>>199163872>>199163893Ok but all other considerations aside, does your government give you chocolate cakes and one coke for free? No? Then I think India is better in this regard.>>199163843Yes definitely, India is better in this regard.
>>199163872Just wait to know how it feels when you need six bags of rate O- blood. Most people like you suddenly start donating thereafter. Hmm... wonder why
>>199163937*rare
>>199162932You can't sell blood or plasma. You get chocolate (ca. same weight as blood you've given) and chocolate. Rules for donations are very strict, eg I was refused cause I've been in Thailand last November (malaria risk). You get tax exemptions.
>>199162932you get cookies and tea, which is a much healthier option than Coke - much better than India in this regard.
>>199163893No
I'm A+.
>>199163997Also if you'll do bunch of donations (like 6 litres or something like that) you get an "order" and bunch of bonuses like free transport, priority in healthcare queues, etc.
>>199163937My mother and my brother are both O-. If one of us needs a blood transfusion, then the other two will pitch in.>>199164008Why do you have anemia?
>>199164060Malnourishment, I've had it since primary school I think
>>199162932>go to blood bank and donateNo, I don't think I will.t. O- universal donor
>>199162932if you need a blood donation here you will likely end up with a new disease
>>199163112>you can sell plasma for like $500 a monthWait, I can make bank with this shit? hmm maybe I will reconsider it
>>199163997>>199164004>>199164008>>199164043>>199164050>>199164138>>199164140While it may very well be the case that your country offers certain incentives for blood donation in the form of monetary and/or gastronomical incentives, and in spite of the bountifulness of said incentives (however compelling they may be), it must still be noted that your government doesn't give you chocolate cakes and one coke for free when you donate at a blood bank. From this simple fact it naturally and irrefutably follows that India is better than your country in this regard.
>>199164138Lots of Spaniards are O-. Actually my O- apparently comes from my Basque ancestors. I don't imagine that Spain is running out of O-
>>199162932"non profits" here give out t shirts, juice and snacks, then they sell our blood to hospitals for much higher prices
>>199164288the organisation makes no profit after paying their massive salaries and political donations, chud
>>199164288>>199164310Hmm ok. I don't know if I've mentioned it before, but in India the government gives you chocolate cakes and one coke for free when you donate at a blood bank. I think India is much better than your country in this regard.
>>199164352chatgpt, do you have a source for that besides one reddit post comment with one upvote
>>199163616all the Mexican food we get in Bongland has lots of beef in it. You should be fine sm h
>>199162932you're supposed to avoid caffeinated drinks like coke after giving blood because it dehydrates you
>>199163112whats plasma
>>199164456The liquid in your blood, companies pay for it because it's used to create expensive medicines
>>199164393My source is the fact that in India the government gives you chocolate cakes and one coke for free when you donate at a blood bank. I think India is much better than your country in this regard.>>199164397So bongland has mexican food but the government doesn't even provide chocolate cakes and one free coke when you donate at a blood bank? bloody britishers. India is much better in this regard.>>199164431source? In any case, in India the government provides one free coke AND chocolate cakes. Surely the chocolate cakes offset the dehydrating effect of the 1 (one) free coke. I think India is better in this regard.>>199164456>>199164511It's something you give in exchange for chocolate cakes and one coke for free.
>>199163112More like $400/month and only then if you donate every week twice.I do it occasionally just when I want an easy $100 to spend on booze and food
